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.

Was good and clean but rooms too small. They have a large property but would be better if there was some good balcony and large windows.

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
