Great service and welcoming stay

Pros: Although the rooms were alittle dated they were clean and comfy. I ate in the restaurant in the evening and the service and food were really excellent.

Cons: Breakfast in the morning was ok, beans appeared to be heated in micro or under a heat lamp for some time as they were dry on top and the sausage was not of a great quality.

Great place for a break. Staff very good, excellent food and dog friendly.

Pros: Property was well located and catered for our dog which a lot of properties round the area did not. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Had a separate bar area which you could take dogs into. We had dinner one evening there which was very good and were able to have our breakfast there as well , again with our dog. Staff provided food for the dog, including sausages for his breakfast and water as well. Big paws up from the dog! 😀

Cons: All good.

Exceeded our expectations ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pros: We had been driving all day and booked this late one afternoon. It wasn’t overly expensive very affordable and included the most delicious breakfast. The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. The rooms were exceptionally clean. It had a bit of a Fawlty Towers feel to the place but with much friendlier and helpful staff. We all enjoyed our stay there and the lovely lady that served us breakfast. Happy to recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
