Great stay overall, modern and clean with nice facilities. Our room faced the road, which was a bit noisy but nothing a pair a good earplugs can't resolve. Lovely picturesque village and good restaurant!

Liked the hotel room. It was a decent temperature. Bathroom was good with a nice powerful shower. Carpet dirty in places…. Not always practical. Coffee and tea on offer which is nice. We ate dinner at the restaurant and my husband did not like the flank steak and frozen baked fries. Overpriced for what was served. My fish and chips were better and I liked the option to have batter or no batter.

Room was large but lighting was poor. Bathroom was OK but lack of grab rails to get out of shower made it dangerous. Food was generally good but breakfast choices limited.
