Host was extremely friendly and accommodating, the dog zorro made everyone smile, lovely little village, comfortable beds
Clean, cosy room and really lovely staff, I didn’t have the breakfast but I did have a roast and it was fantastic. Will definitely stay again when I need to visit family
Great little town to use as a stopover heading North or South on A1. Staff were great, breakfast was good also. Rooms are a little basic but clean and comfortable enough along with bathroom.
TV signal was poor and reception kept tripping out. Otherwise fine.

Super friendly staff. Great location. The Building has a lot of character
Friendly welcoming staff, with a larger than expected room. The food was nice.
It was kareoke night which was a bit of a shame, as it went on past half 11 and we had to ask when it would finish.

3* room, 5* food and service!
The room was okay - the bed was really comfy but the walls were paper-thin and the bathroom was chilly. However, the food in the restaurant and breakfast were delicious and the service from the whole team was fantastic.
