Pleasant enough and convenient for our planned trip. Just unlucky with the bathroom and size of meal
Pros:

Breakfast good. Very nice bright breakfast room. Large car park. Room was clean and tidy .

Cons:

Bathroom needed maintenance. Smell of drains. Sink didnt hold water. No hand wash.
Evening meal served on cold plates. Fish & chips, fish was no bigger than a childs portion. We did not complain at the time.

Excellent, professional and friendly staff. They were accommodating and made you feel welcome. The breakfast was freshly cooked to order and well presented. The parking was convenient with easy access to the accommodation.

Cons:

The room was small and a touch musty but had sufficient amenities for a comfortable stay. It was excellent value for money.

Fabulous- we will definitely book again if we’re in the area
Pros:

The rooms were very comfortable and clean. Beds extremely comfy and good showers. The breakfast was also exceptional

Cons:

Nothing much - we were facing the main road which was quite noisy in the morning. It would have been great to have a mini fridge as I usually bring some of my own soft drinks

Pros:

Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Bett ist komfortabel und alles ist sauber. Das Abendessen war prima, der Parkplatz auf dem Hof ausreichend groß und man kann mit dem Hund schnell eine kleine Gassirunde machen.

Disappointed, wouldn’t stay here again
Cons:

The breakfast was discussing. We were told to order the night before, the food was presented has soon has we sat down, this had been made and sat on a hot plate, the egg was rock hard sausages under cooked, mushroom shrivelled. I ended up with a pot of yogurt. The bathroom was tatty old silicone on the floor, dressing table missing paint which didn’t look appealing. Evening staff were pushing to get you out of the restaurant to they could no doubt finish early. Morning staff miserable. The staff looked very scruffy

Great place to break your journey.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly. The menu was not overly large but everything we ate was very good. Outside seating area.

Cons:

You didn't appear to be able to walk to anywhere which meant you had to drive all the time but roads were good. The drinks were a little pricey.

Little tired but, great staff and location
Pros:

Location excellent.
The young lady from Poland who looked after us during breakfast and dinner was exceptional.
Comfortable beds.

Cons:

The man who checked us in was bordering on rude. Asked us how we wanted to pay, we said cash and he said no, cards only (however, we could pay cash for our dinner?!!) then told me that they had already charged my card anyway, which has never happened with me when booking with Booking.com.
Our rooms were in need of a thorough clean - the bin in my room hadn’t been emptied when I went in.

Pros:

Breakfast was lovely. The host was very helpful and friendly.l

Cons:

Unfortunately the initial reception from whoever was running the reception/ bar was not good. He was curt and not at all helpful. He could not maintain eye contact and to be honest made us feel very unwelcomed. Should also mention that the quality of the WiFi was not good and reception on the TV was also hit and miss .
