We did not stay here, but we ate in the restaurant. The food was adequate, nothing special, but the midweek special (12.50 euros for 2 courses) made it good value. Pretty standard hotel/pub food. More

A great hotel that is always clean and warm with great food and drink. I stay there on business about 10 nights in a year and it never lets me down. Now its not a modern hotel with fancy bed rooms and fancy food that you wonder why you are still hungry after your meal. The rooms are warm and... More

Spent the recent bank holiday here and was dubious about the offer price to stay. I was not disappointed. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the food in the bar and the lovely restaurant was excellent - and i am a fussy beggar, not easily pleased! The breakfast too was scrumptious - all served with a smile. It... More

I am probably writing this review in the wrong section, however i felt it needed a recommendation even though we didn't actually stay at the hotel. We enjoyed a Sunday evening meal here. The restaurant/bar was very busy and initially we were seated at the bar where we ordred our food but with a promise of a table as soon... More

I felt that i had to write a recent review of this hotel and make sure that anyone in the area on holiday doesn't miss this little gem of a hotel. We have been here quite a few times since we first found it. The staff are excellent and the Manager Patricia is very pleasant and nothing is too much... More

Overall our stay at this hotel was a pleasant one. The staff was very nice and the food was good. The manager (blonde lady) of the hotel however, was very unprofessional. When we entered the hotel she was unwelcoming and lacked basic manners. We had a small complaint about the food and she made a very rude comment about the... More
