Didn't stay just loving the new look so far haven't been here for many a moon. Decided to pop in for a spot of lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Food was lovely , spent alot of time talking and catching up with the staff and patrons . Staff were great and friendly and a very handsome young chap with a beard looked after us very well. Will be back .

Facilities were clean and well maintained, including disabled and baby changing facilities. Function room was gorgeous!!! Perfect for a wedding reception. The bar staff were very friendly and helpful. As I am breastfeeding then I was able to get a decaf coffee when requested and through in the main bar I was able to get a glass of milk when I was feeling run down. The outside area is gorgeous for pictures. The gent who runs the function hall was a bit of a microphone hog but he was very friendly and helpful. The mic wasn't great to hear what was being said in speeches, and the music being played after the band was distorted so I would recommend sound checks /new system. Food for me was beyond great but there was some mixed reviews by others who found their chicken main course to be dry.

Family run hotel, very relaxed vibes and welcoming. The food is real and hearty. The staff are warm and accommodating. The rooms are standard but very clean, dont expect modern but I believe that reflected in the price point. Beautiful venue for getting married. I got married here in 2013 and since then it has been updated with beautiful led dance floor and twinkly lights on the ceilings. Quite stunning. Highly recommend!

Excellent service. Staff really friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Overall a great weekend although the room needs an update. A little gloomy and furniture dated. Being on the ground floor couldn't keep window open as design wouldn't have been secure. However room was clean and spacious.
