Each room includes a TV, telephone, hairdryer and tea and coffee facilities. There is an en suite bathroom with shower or bath, and complementary toiletries. The dining room serves a variety of seasonal dishes making use of local meat, fish and game. The informal Harness Room bar provides a relaxing environment in which to enjoy cask ales, cocktails or wines.

Many hotels offer a combination of both - i.e. guests can have cereal as well as bacon and eggs, and preserved are provided for toast. Our waitress, Charlotte, was delightful.”- Libby United Kingdom“Cannot fault anything about out stay. Very high standard of furnishings, fixtures and fittings.Evening meal was excellent too”
