The staff and food were great. Property could do with some updating. The environment is very quiet and offers a really relaxing stay. More outdoor seating areas would also be great.

We stayed 1 night. The room was very clean and the staff was polite. Our room was over looking the road so we could hear a dog barking most of the night and cars passing. Also the food was not the best.
