Great place, super kind staff
Pros:

Everyone was soooo friendly and kind.

Cons:

I could feel the springs from the mattress somewhat lumpy but nothing too serious, probably just needs turning more often.

Excellent value. Lovely staff.
Pros:

Lovely and quiet room, good location. Breakfast is one of the best!

Cons:

I didn’t know they weren’t doing evening meals but that may have been down to me not reading everything. WiFi wasn’t great in my room.

Clean and basic. Good value for money.
Pros:

Clean but basic room.

Friendly, welcoming and comfortable stay.
Pros:

Really welcoming staff - nothing too much trouble to ask for, helpful, and provided directions when needed. It was no problem to extend the stay, staff understanding when i lost the room key etc. Live music on the Sat evening was a great bonus.

Cons:

There is little I would change about this set up, will be great when the new restaurant comes on stream in Q1 2026 in the meantime there are plenty of local take-away options to keep you going.

Good value for money.
Pros:

Had everything that was needed. Was clean and tidy, with all the basics needed for a short stay. Staff were friendly. Good location, with parking facilities nearby.

Cons:

Couldn’t connect to wifi and a couple of the TV channels weren’t able to connect properly, but the weather probably didn’t help.

It was what I needed - a bed to sleep, a clean toilet/shower, friendly staff.
Pros:

The room I stayed in was small but had everything I needed. It is very clean and the staff are lovely. Most importantly, biker friendly.

Cons:

Coffee is really bad, sorry

Great pub with really nice rooms.
Pros:

Great pub hotel. Its a pub hotel which has some really nice rooms attached. Staff are excellent and make the place. Breakfast is good and has a good choice. They dont serve evening meals but they allow residents to bring takeaway food in from a wide range of takeaways nearby and provide the knives, forks and condiments. Stay again? Yes !

Cons:

Very little.

Amazingly brilliant
Pros:

The room was brand new. I believe the owner is in the process of expanding the place. The work, so far, is of a high standard and, once finished, the grounds will be a bonus. We were made to feel very welcome, from the moment we arrived. The staff could not have been more helpful. They weren’t pushy, or overpowering, but, if we had any questions they were more than willing to help. The whole atmosphere of the place was warm and friendly.

Cons:

I cannot think of anything negative about the place. We will most certainly go back to stay. Thank you, to all concerned, especially the beautiful young lady, with the long blond hair and a little white dog, you were a complete star.
