excellent stay

comfortable room good selection delicious parcel

the superior king room was very comfortable and clean. the breakfast offered a good selection, cooked to order. i especially liked the filo camembert parcel (it was delicious!).

the menu is overpriced. i personally think that £15 for a cheese board is expensive.
