Fabulous location

Lovely location, great service with happy and helpful staff. Food a bit on the expensive side and limited dinner menu, breakfast was really good. Room ok but the showroom was extremely cold. Everything you needed in the room and fresh milk for drinks. Big plus was a served at the table breakfast and not a buffet.

Perfect!

Both the pub and the rooms were excellent! All the staff were attentive and friendly and the views are simple incredible! We had dinner and breakfast there and couldn’t fault anything about either. The mini doughnuts were a highlight! We recommend this place to anyone looking for a short getaway, especially their Sunday stay deal! Hope to book again next year!
