The generous breakfast is a highlight for many, while pizza night in the pub provides a unique dining experience.

wonderful stay

helpful staff comfortable room excellent facilities extensive menu
The staff helped me a lot with local information. room number four was very comfortable and clean. coffee and tea facilities in the room were excellent. the breakfast menu was extensive and very enjoyable. I especially liked the cooked-to-order options.
anytime another guest moved or opened a door, it rattled my door. it was very loud across the room, as if someone knocked on the door constantly.
