We stayed here as was visiting family We needed accommodation that accepted dogs and they very much welcome dogs. Very clean. Had Sunday dinner which was amazing. Breakfast was a bit of let down. And the rooms needed upgrading. Little things like bigger beds better pillows would go a long way. Staff were lovely and overall a good stay
