Property has been recently refurbished so is very clean and rooms are nice. We stayed for a weekend as at a wedding nearby. The only negative is the price of the food. We live in london but were suprised at the prices in the resteraunt, not cheap. The food is fine but is really overpriced.

Happy residents
The only possible complaint would be that we had to wait an hour after we had ordered food before it appeared. The food itself was excellent. Reserved named parking spaces for residents most helpful,. Very welcoming staff.

Lovely short break
Exceptionally clean premises with friendly staff in a beautiful location with good parking. Room was well furnished and in good condition. The restaurant produced some very nice meals although it does appear to get very busy so I recommend an early booking. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone wanting a quality stay in this part of the country.
