What Our Customers Say

Bronte Sutton
★★★★★
Incredible food and staff. Amazing service. Great prices and atmosphere. Cannot fault the place at all although I would recommend booking for meals as it fills up fast which is no shock. Cannot comment on the accommodation as I have not stayed with them.

★★★★★
Great location. Comfortable rooms, en- suite in all rooms. Great bar staff downstairs. 15 minute walk to Salamanca markets. Food is fantastic. This place is biker friendly, big car park at the back. I'd recommend this place, and I'd come back again.

★★★★★
Good food, relaxed atmosphere, and didn't try and rush you out the door when you finished your meal. Wasn't the first time dining and won't be the last
