Read All ReviewsCar park directly off A6 at bottom end of Clifton. Main entrance is leveled to car parking. There is no lift. There are just two floors, the ground floor where the bar and restaurant are and the first floor where accommodation is. The room was very nice and we felt as if we were being pampered. The rooms were beautifully and tastefully decorated and furnished, with very comfy beds, big fluffy towels, lovely ensuite, and bathrobes. It was particularly helpful that dog’s were welcome and their needs catered for. It may be a problem for wheelchair guests as there are no lifts other than that it was a good stay.
