8/10 Good
"The rooms are well sized and very comfortable and spotlessly clean , the only downside here is the water pressure on the shower which is very low . The restaurant and bar area are really nice although the food could be better and it shuts at 8:30 , too early for my thinking . The staff are exceptional , attentive , courteous and very willing to chat to the guests . Been told its being sold so my advice to the new owners is change nothing apart from the restaurant food and opening times ."
