Food and staff were amazing. Our room had a small private patio, which was beautiful, and lovely for the dogs. Staff were very helpful. And the food was top notch. Beautiful setting. Was lovely having breakfast outside in the morning. Loved it.

We booked super last minute on a Monday evening but still had a very lovely welcome! All of the staff we met were amazing and the room was lovely. Super dog friendly with a lovely garden area for walking them - breakfast in the morning was really good also! Will definitely return soon and make sure we have time for dinner and drinks in the evening!

Hotels.com failed this booking process
Hotels.com allowed me to book a hotel with 5 minutes before checking closes, and I was an hour away. I have lost my booking money.
