We booked here on the recommendation of my step son, who was impressed with the reviews. We had no knowledge of the area and few expectations of the accommodation, as it was a fleeting family visit for a couple of nights. It turned out to be an absolute WOW! The (Lavender) bedroom was charming, quirky with beams, amazing bathroom & not a single thing was missing in terms of toiletries, towels, coffee/tea supplies, hair dryer. |There is a cosy snug off the bar area & a lovely little terrace.|On arrival, we put poor Steve under pressure by requesting a table on arrival for 7, on a Saturday evening over bank hol! We don’t know how he did it, but he came through, an absolute legend! The selection of food was delicious - tapas & main meals. And a big shout out for the freshly cooked to order, breakfasts. Easily on par with the best, anywhere. |The final icing on the cake were the staff, who were all brilliant, with a very special thank you, going to Charlene, who in our opinion, must be one of the few truly caring, customer focus, people left on the planet. Another legend! (Now don’t go getting all big headed, hahaha.) The Sanctuary will be our number one go to, from now on, when we visit our northern family. We can’t wait to return. THANK YOU Steve and all the great guys & gals and the hard working, behind the scenes, kitchen guys.
