Linen and towels very good quality and brilliant white. The room was spotlessly clean and bed super comfortable. Decor etc. needs some TLC.

This was a last minute booking, we really enjoyed our stay. Food is excellent, staff are friendly & helpful. Hotel would benefit from some TLC & a little update. Stair carpet frayed, bedroom walls are ready for a coat of emulsion, but we would stay again.
