The room and building is lovely. Staff are all very helpful & the breakfast was delicious. Due to the style of the building it does unfortunately not allow for the quietest of sleeps if you are in the original building.

Overnight family stay

We stayed for 1 night. Staff and hotel were excellent, the kids bed was a bit small and uncomfortable for a 10 year old but the overalll stay was great and food was lovely in the restaurant. We didn’t get to try breakfast unfortunately as we had to leave at 7.30am and breakfast didn’t start till 8am
