Family Catch
Stopped here for one night to see family in the local area and watch rugby match. Rooms nice, comfortable, various sizes and all double rooms. All en-suite bathrooms with baths in some with shower over and the smaller rooms with wall in shower only. Great variety of tea types in each room and fresh milk in flask provided. Food and drinks charged to room to pay at the end of the evening. Evening meal was lovely and great portion sizes. Price reflected the quality and very much worth it. Would stay again

Clare

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
dog-friendly but overpriced and in need of refurb.
The room was small, the ensuite was tiny, and the bed very small and bouncy (I think likely a queen size, not a double). This, in combination with noise from people coming up the stairs, doors banging, and some sort of weird vibrating noise (?fan/generator) early next morning meant hardly any sleep the first night. It felt in need of a refurbishment, everything quite worn and tired looking. There was no little extra's-complementary biscuits or shower gel, and the TV didn't work. On the positive side the staff were friendly and they allow dogs. The food was ok-good, but a little overpriced. Overall the stay was overpriced for what is being offered,I wouldn't return.

Nice little hotel, comfortable rooms, nice bar and restaurant. Only down side was the slow Wi-fi. Was travelling for work and struggled slightly with the Wi-fi speed on my laptop. All in all very good 😁

Lovely location. Great food and fantastic staff - especially the staff who served dinner and breakfast. Bedroom was a decent size although showing signs of wear and tear. Bathroom was a little small and awkward especially shower - shower pressure was excellent!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The proprietors had a snappy/ condescending attitude. Rooms very small and horribly uncomfortable beds, lacking amenities. Menu of " daily specials " stayed the same for all 6 days we stayed. Very boring. Breakfast included, but it was demanded to schedule a time to eat and pre choose meal. Eggs tried 3 days and all 3 were like rubber. Seems to cater to dogs...other guests with 3 large dogs in room and roaming all about. Would not recommend.
