"The room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the shower was very good. The staff were very friendly and polite. The breakfast was excellent, the only thing that let it down was the tea and coffee which was served from flasks, so the tea was never brewed properly as the water was not boiling hot.The views from the breakfast room are amazing and there are ample parking spaces. Will certainly visit again."
