“The spot's situation, overlooking the Dee Estuary, is genuinely lovely, offering a fine base for exploring. What struck me most was the genuine warmth from the staff and the palpable history woven into the building, all complemented by a very secure car park. Dining here, especially the breakfast and evening meals, proved to be a real highlight.”
