Quick stopover stay. Nice and cosy and clean. Good pub for dinner next door. Have stayed before and will stay again. Could do with a shelf or hooks in the bathroom but other than that it was fine.
We got back late from a adventure glow worm tour and we're exhausted. The staff made us pizza and brought it to our super comfortable room. That is seriously good karma points. Thank you
The bar and eatery are closed on Monday and Tuesday. Had to drive 14 miles each way to get dinner. We would have dined prior to arriving had we known. They need to make their dining hours known.
Lovely little place - we booked a family room (2 rooms that interconnect) a little on the small side but great for just the one night and a bathroom per room was very handy. Other rooms (not interconnecting) looked much bigger.
Food at the bar next door was very nice - massive portions!
Friendly staff and great service.
