8.4Verified guest“A warm welcome from Jacqui, who even carried my bags to our lovely twin room. The place is spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. The bed was the comfiest I've had in years. Breakfast was a buffet with an excellent spread, including fresh fruit, yogurt, and the best full English ever. The bar had a relaxed vibe. Really ideal for families, with a great atmosphere.”
