Although simple the facilities were perfect for an overnight stay enroute to a further destination. They went the extra mile with dog friendly. Providing a dog bed, bowls and treats. A lovely garden for her to run around in too.

The breakfast was really excellent. The location was good too with easy access to all amenities. The staff were very friendly, helpful and cheerful and the accommodation and bed linen were spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend. Amazing...
