Good hotel

Lovely place, good quality. Just two points 1) signage in car park and to reception needs to be improved 2) breakfast was slow coming, and if delay was due to kitchen being busy it would have been nice to know as we felt as if forgotten

The whole set up was both welcoming and very professional. The Western House Hotel was the last stop on our 7-night stay and was the best of our experiences. I would highly recommend this property
