lovely staffsuper clean accommodationinteresting menuhomemade black pudding

The staff are lovely and willing to chat! Accommodation is beautiful and super clean. It was clear they take pride in their hotel. The food stands out with a very interesting menu. Breakfast included homemade black pudding. I found this amazing.

The starters, were nice but I thought they were overpriced.

the starters seemed overpriced at £12. main courses cost over £20 and i found them lacking. my fish and chips were quite average and came served in paper. i expected more for the price. there was unpleasant school toilet conversation.
