    the rooms were spacious and very clean. they were warm and well maintained. I enjoyed the pool as I am a swimmer. The beds were very comfortable and the linen and towels were a great quality. I would recommend to others with confidence.

    Lovely friendly staff, nice clean room and because we were at the back near the pool the traffic noise from the road was minimal. Nice to be mostly surrounded by farmlands so peaceful too 😊
