Was booked for a wedding in this hotel and had to stay the night before due to travel, to say the staff went above and beyond for us is an understatement couldn't of been more helpful ! Hotel itself is homely and friendly , really enjoyed the fact the hotel had a separate bar attached so gave an even more relaxed feel to it. 10/10 would recommend !
