This hotel was recommended to us by a friend who since finding the hotel 4 years ago has revisited annually!
I was so pleased to find such a wonderful hidden treasure. We had wanted to have a big family holiday for years but as my grand father is in a wheel chair, we never thought it would be possible. Not only is the hotel idyllic with wonderful and friendly staff, it is completely accessible and everything has been considered from the perspective of a wheelchair user (lower light switches, very wide doors, ramps, hoists). It was important to find somewhere with these facilities that didn't feel like an institution and that all the family could enjoy. The owners even recommended insurance companies suitable for my grandfather. Food was gorgeous and the service unbeatable. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone, with or without disabilities.
