wonderful stay
friendly staff excellent food warm welcome clean room
Staff were very friendly. The food was excellent. The cream tea and cake between 3.30 and 4.30pm were GREATLY appreciated. I have been coming annually for years, and I appreciate the warm welcome and clean rooms with hot water.
Reception could be a little more friendly. When I asked about water, the receptionist marched off without explaining much.
