“This was our second visit to this hotel, the last one being five years ago and it was still as good as we remembered. Lovely clean and comfortable rooms and an excellent choice of menu for breakfast. Also great parking facilities at the rear of the hotel which is always a priority for us. We were able to just park up and walk into the town centre which was nearby. The owners were most welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Cannot wait to return.”
