superb stay!
friendly staff dog amenities cosy area
i stayed for three nights. the staff were friendly and helpful, they quickly addressed all requests. the hotel provided dog bowls and a bed for my dog in the room. the outside dining area was very cosy, heaters and blankets were available.
the coffee in the room was a bit strong for my liking. i found it a bit daft that i could only switch off both bedside lamps and not just one at a time. it would offer more control over the lighting.
