We called in for an early evening meal- well, we both craved some decent bar food and hadn't eaten here for a while. It was steady but we got a table in the bar area and service was quick and pleasant . The burger was excellent - it's a great bar food menu- really juicy burger with perfect garlic potatoes.... More

Slightly disappointed regarding preparation of our room on first entering - but the receptionist handled the situation courteously and efficiently and we were transferred immediately to a room which was perfectly satisifactory. We stayed for a Dinner B&B package and were pleased with the menu choices, the breakfast, accommodation, scenic and serene location and service.
