All right for one night stay
Pros:

Good location for one night. Comfortable bar with plenty of parking space. We had a good breakfast freshly prepared for us.

Cons:

The room was a lodge which I did not realize when I booked because I prefer to stay in a hotel bedroom. It was quite noisy late on in the night.

Very poor room. Breakfast was good. Overall poor value for the £130 charged.
Pros:

Breakfast and location was good.

Cons:

Our stay did not offer value for money.
The ensuite was so small you struggled to get in and out. The room smelt of cheesey feet and BO.
The bed was hard, lumpy and uncomfortable. the chair was threadbare and the window locks were broken. Also the curtains were not substantial enough to keep out light once the sun came up. Overall a very unhappy experience abd would not recommend.

Excellent stop over
Pros:

I liked the fact that we were in the outside bit because it was convenient as my husband has.mobility issues and he is a smoker and it meant he didn't need to struggle when he wanted a smoke he could just go out the door and there was a seat at the door he could sit on to smoke. Also really nice breakfast and good friendly staff.

Cons:

I would have liked a couple of chairs in the room .
