“The location was excellent for a break in our journey and far enough off the A1M to be quiet but convenient. The Saturday evening local clientele were great. No lager louts with smartphones, just a mature bunch of people happy to have a pint and a blether in cosy surroundings. We loved the fact that the TV went on for the darts game, not some huge screen with rap-style pop videos. This place was definitely for the mature person wanting a great meal in a friendly atmosphere. The food was fantastic - both dinner and breakfast. The rooms at the back were great. Loved the fridge in the room and the fluffy dressing gowns. The little courtyard garden was lovely and homely.”
