cute staff competitive price great stay

The staff were cute and friendly!!! the bar prices were competitive, and the evening meals and breakfast were excellent. i would definitely stay here again if i am ever in the area. It was like a warm home away from home. the prices for food and drinks were very good, and the quality was amazing for both.

The room needed a little tlc, i feel. i opened the wardrobe and found broken coat hangers. It seemed like it had not been properly cleaned for a long time. our floor definitely needed hoovering.
