We stayed in the adjoining cottage to the actual hotel which was lovely. We have a young baby and it was perfect - a nice, clean, well furnished bedroom upstairs with bathroom, and a good sized lounge with dining table and small kitchen downstairs.

The entrance is a little disappointing, it needs a few warm lights. Likewise the area leading to the public toilets, very bland,... more
