Super Place 5 stars all round
Really nice hotel in a lovely location. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. Room was a good size, very nicely presented with views over the fields, very clean. Good choices for breakfast and quick service. Can’t fault, apart from there being no Guiness on draft !
