Visited for an event with the afternoon tea served. Sandwiches and cakes were nice enough. Seemed like a good place to pop in for lunch.

A traditional hotel, great bathrooms which have been updated. Bedrooms tired furniture and had hole's in the bedding. Base sheet replaced, couldn't be bothered to mention the quilt cover. Breakfast extremely basic.
