Kevin United Kingdom

Friendly, helpful proprietors, who couldn't do enough to help make the break enjoyable.

Richard United Kingdom

Everything! Sheila was a fantastic host and was very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast (cooked by Mike) was delicious and Sheila remembered our breakfast order each morning which we were very impressed by. The bed and bedding was very comfortable, soft and clean and we had a great night's sleep every night. The bathroom was clean and had everything you needed. Tea and coffee was in the rooms and more available on request. We were provided with a parking pemit (£10) which meant we could stay in the car park all weekend - a god send on a busy bank holiday weekend!

Hattie United Kingdom

Breakfast was lovely, nothing was too much for the owners.

Joe United Kingdom

Everything from the hosts, Mick & Sheila, to the very spacious room with a 4 poster bed, and not to mention the exceptional breakfast, was 10 out of 10. Highly recommended.

David United Kingdom
