I have to say a huge thank you to the hosts for accommodating our late check in/ last minute booking and coming down since my phone did not have a signal by the door. The property was a little older but clean and tidy! A nice warm place to spend the night as you travel.

Decent enough accommodation, good facilities, easy to find and can park by your room. We had no problems with road noise. Bar area is nice and the food (evening meal) was freshly cooked and good quality. The staff were really nice and friendly.

Visit was fine. Room was smaller than i thought but was enough for myself and teenage grandson. Only thing l really was not happy with was the hair dryer in the bathroom couldn't be used there as was no plug. And whe i plugged it into the other room plug the cord wasn't long enough to see in the bathroom mirror. So a real waste of time.
