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.
I arrived a little late so I went to the bar to check in. The woman who checked me in was kind and asked if she should make me a dinner reservation. The food was SO good. I got the chicken and Brie burger. The room was clean and I felt very safe, parking was easy, and it has a nice grassy area. It was perfect and in a beautiful area!
Comfortable and clean staff very accommodating to a bunch of very wet and dirty cyclists
Recommend place to stay nice to have help yourself breakfast available
