I had a great stay, I only stayed one night. The manager was friendly and helpful. There were some local regulars in the bar area, where I was made to feel welcome. A great mix, even had a game of pool with them. Freshly decorated. Great value for money and I would stay again.

Roadside accommodation

There was a warm welcome when we arrived and we were given plenty of local details. Originally booked the property as it had a restaurant. Unfortunately, it did not provide any food on Sundays or Monday’s; the two days we were there. This aside, the room was clean if a little tired. There was tea and coffee in the room but no spoons! The other issue was the noise from the road outside. Our room was roadside, and although ear plugs were provided along with the tea and coffee, the constant hum from 6:00 am was irritating with just single glaze windows. Because of this, I probably wouldn’t stay again.
