We stayed in the comfort suite. With the exception of a slightly strange smell, which was easily rectified, the accommodation exceeded our expectations. We would happily stay there again. Facilities were excellent, towels extremely soft, addition if bath robes were very welcome. The hotel garden had amazing views. Only downside was parking could be a little restricted.

The room is in the roof space, and therefore the eaves were a concern for hitting one's head. It is a little claustrophobic.

Lovely quirky hotel

We are local and only stayed as having work done on the house, so have eaten there many times. Pleasantly surprised how nice and well maintained the room was and very clean. Great atmosphere in the bar, and will recommend to our visitors and the staff were really lovely.
