Rib eye steak was perfect, rump steak was said to be perfect. The pizzas were a little greasy however and I dont think as good as they used to be. Service and everything was brilliant however and we will be returning.

Classy, calm, well organised, extra friendly team of staff. Just wanted a road trip/chill out time after Christmas- perfect place. Bedroom was clean, original, bed comfy. Warm but ventilated by window. Great hot shower. Good breakfast, well cooked. No complaints at all and will be returning
