This place could be amazing, but needs some serious capital investment and TLC! The water from the taps and shower is brown and undrinkable (warnings everywhere) and the few small bottles of drinkable water they supply, go nowhere. The toilet wouldn’t even flush paper down! The rooms are very old and need a lot of work. Doors don’t close, windows don’t open, lights don’t work and the TV in the room is the size of an iPad. The view from the room was pretty good, but that was about the only positive. I definitely wouldn’t stay there again. The food in the “restaurant”, was over priced for how average it was and the coffee even worse.

Location was great and we chose this place for its look of a country pub. However the dining area was closed and we would have appreciated a bit of notice about this as we would have looked to stay elsewhere. This caused us to have to drive to a different location for dinner. I also think they need to upgrade the TV channels as if we're restricted to sit in our room a few more channels (more than 4) or the ability to sign in to Netflix etc... would be nice.
