Gorgeous Place to Stay
This is a beautiful place to stay in a charming village. I have a fabulous room (9) with stunning bathroom. Breakfast was excellent and the staff could not have been nicer. All in all a superb stay. I wish I could give it a six rating

Great for coeliacs
We chose this hotel based on reviews praising the gluten free food and we were not disappointed. The food is excellent and the choice for coeliacs is great. The rooms are huge and very comfortable. Can’t wait to return
