"Very happy with our stay here, they kindly said we could park up earlier than our checking in time. Our room was ready earlier too so that was a plus. The cooked breakfasts were lovely and brought to your table, we had dinner one evening in the restaurant and that was lovely too. Very polite and helpful staff. We asked if we could leave car in the car park for the morning on day of departure just so we could walk into town and they said that was fine. It made for a very cheerful stay the staff were friendly"
