The place was lovely and clean, and there was plenty of choice for continental breakfast. There was lots of info about the local area too.

The room was very nicely decorated, warm and clean. The ensuite shower room was warm, big towels and enough of the usual supplies. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate and fruit teas, biscuits, milk in the cutest bottles, couldn't have done more. Breakfast was good, the service excellent and the choice unlimited. I would highly recommend The Courthouse for dinner or overnight stay.
