"This was a very pleasant stay in a great location, ideal for where we were travelling. I had read some iffy reviews but happy to report that we need not have worried. The room was clean, the shower had been recently upgraded and the breakfast was excellent with a variety of choice. The manager of the coffee shop was very helpful and friendly as were the reception staff. There was also a nice woodland walk. We will definitely stay there again should we be travelling to that area for a long...
