8/10 Good
"Overall Had a good stay. Our standard room the bed was a tiny double and on one side a sloping roof making it very difficult to get in and out of bed without smashing head. The kettle didn't reach the plug so had to make coffee on the floor. The shower was an awful old electric thing that didnt get hot and was just a dribble of water. The bar was set up for breakfast by 8pm and so we couldn't sit and enjoy a drink there after dinner. However these were just wee annoying things. We had a great dinner, very tasty and good portion size. Breakfast was okay. The staff were all lovely. We would stay again but pay extra for a superior room"
