"The room was very clean and comfortable with a good size en-suite. The self-serve continental breakfast is always plentiful and fresh. The location is perfect for exploring the local area and the bonus is the pub with local cider and excellent food options for vegetarians and meat lovers alike. This is our third visit so far this year and we will definitely be back."

"The premises is on a busy crossroads with an all night filling station adjacent to our bedroom. Whilst appreciating that they can do nothing about their location it might help to know these matters in case people are disturbed by noise in the night. There was no shower and only a bath which is not our preference. The decor in the restaurant was tired and in need of redecoration but otherwise the staff were very helpful and the food and drink good."
