We booked super last minute on a Monday evening but still had a very lovely welcome! All of the staff we met were amazing and the room was lovely. Super dog friendly with a lovely garden area for walking them - breakfast in the morning was really good also! Will definitely return soon and make sure we have time for dinner and drinks in the evening!
