We stopped for a night during a long drive home with a rescue dog we had picked up just hours before. The staff were immediately welcoming; kind and friendly. The hotel itself lovely, the accommodation cozy and very comfortable, and the food and service excellent. I would definitely stay again and would whole heartedly recommend to others. Thank you.

Excellent food, at a price but couldn't be faulted . Rooms quite small but comfy and very clean and tidy except for even after the heating was looked at not the warmest. TV small.
