Great location with plenty of free parking. The room was quite small but we were only there for one night and had very little luggage. Good restaurant. Service was excellent. Staff were particularly friendly and helpful.

One of the friendliest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Fabulous staff, friendly locals, good beer & food and free parking right outside the door. To top it all off the breakfast is amazing. I’d stay here again next time I’m travelling this way.

Nice clean spacious room but the window in my room needs replacing as it was draughty and aloud in noise from outside, perhaps a few mushrooms would not go amiss with the breakfast apart from those minor qualms I would not hesitate to stay again.
