• "We found a real gem of a hotel here, definitely punching above its weight. Our room was of a good size, with mini bar, TV and nice en suite with a powerful water fall shower. The dinner, bed and breakfast deal was priced competitively and the food quality, taste and presentation was just amazing; all served by friendly staff. The breakfast was ace."
