Great stay
Nice room, lovely big bed and TV in the bathroom was a treat. Lovely little surprises like the complimentary hot chocolate sticks made by the hotel. Cosy sitting room with fire to enjoy your drinks.

5 Star Experience
We stayed one night on bed and breakfast basis. We also dined there on the three course set menu. It was fairly pricey after adding pre dinner drinks and a couple of glasses of wine however we couldn’t fault a thing. Food was amazing. Modern, inventive and very, very tasty. Presentation was first class. Staff were exceptionally friendly. Our room was in The Loft. Small but immaculate with a quirky Alice in Wonderland theme. We hope to return!
