"We have stayed in hotels that say they are dog friendly, but our dogs were treated as guests, not just tolerated."
"The bathroom had a large walk in shower and plenty of space for all your toiletries etc and the bathtub was made into a feature space within the bedroom."
"The location is great to explore the local area and the free parking at the rear of the hotel was excellent -we would return again and would highly recommend to friends"
