The dining room was well laid out and we enjoyed a comprehensive menu, with silver service.... More

I have been staying at this hotel for the last 16 years and more recently with my new family addition. The staff are marvellous and the facilities are excellent. Parking is secure and off road which is a bonus. One down side is the heat in the bedrooms all year round. Guess thats why they have such big windows to... More
