Nice comfortable place. Good location, on the C2C way. Very nice staffs and good food. Bar serves dinner around 5 pm and they served our breakfast @ 7:30 so we can walk 21 miles to our next stop.

Graham United Kingdom

Comfortable bar and great food. The pie was the best that I have had for years. Very friendly staff and locals. The full English breakfast was Ali very good.

Dave United Kingdom

The lady behind the bar on Tuesday night was fabulous

Gary United Kingdom

The staff were superb and nothing was a bother to any of them.

Rob United Kingdom

Stayed for one night booked 2 rooms, my sons room was abit shabby but clean and comfortable. Our room was clean, spacious and a great shower. All staff were very friendly, helpful and breakfast was delicious. Like I said it just needs some TLC especially on the stairs and landing and room 5 because sticking wallpaper back on with masking tape isn’t a good look.

Caroline United Kingdom

Great location,helpful staff, clean and tidy rooms and fantastic breakfast will be coming back

Michael United Kingdom

Great stay in a great location on edge of Lakes with a good food and drink, great breakfasts and a nice relaxed and friendly set-up all round.
