Short break

Was a pleasant stay , the room was comfortable but just needed a spruce up a few cobwebs here and there ,the room we had was next to a seating area straight outside window ,so could probably be noisy in the warmer months as people would drink outside more ,also had to keep curtains closed for privacy,the staff were excellent and breakfast nice but only served from 8-30 till 9-45am so if you wanted a early start you might be disappointed,had meal in restaurant was very nice but not a big choice

Dr C M, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice place to stay but...

Pretty location. Pleasant stay in a nice room in the annexe. Good breakfast and decent food in the evening. The only issue really is access. It's in the middle of nowhere with steep narrow single track roads that are pretty treacherous and stressful in the dark and bad weasther.
