Service was exceptional! Rooms were old fashioned but imaculate, with power shower. Breakfast was beautiful and the spa was a fabulous experience. Will definitely return.
Claire, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Some areas of the hotel have been upgraded since our last visit including the Spa and it’s a massive improvement. Staff are friendly and efficient. We weren’t massively keen on the food in the Jigger Inn. However it was busy so maybe we’re in the minority there. Overall a very good stay, we’ll definitely be back.
