    Nice quiet location, did the job.

    The restaurant was very good, food great, lovely setting, The bedroom and bathroom were very well heated, very clean and tea,coffee, etc were plenty. Very quiet location. Free parking is a bonus.

    Our room was adeqate but i think it was the smallest , the shower was not working properly could not get a hot shower plenty of hot water for a bath but not comong out of the shower. The rooms were separate to the hotel and locating the room was difficult no proper signage for room numbers had to wander around a bit to locate our room.
