Room was clean and had everything we needed. Decor a bit tired and the place could do with some updating, but given the hard time hospitality have had because of the pandemic I think you could give them a by-ball. The owners had left a lovely breakfast in the room for us, with fruit, yoghurt, cereal and pastries for the morning as well as the usual tea/coffee facilities. If you're looking for 5-star luxury, it's probably not the place for you, but if you need somewhere to put your head down for the night before travelling on, then it was spot on.

Good for couple days, but not to spend long time. No lift, poor breakfast inside room, water is being guzzled very slow in shower.

We were greeted by Paul the owner on arrival. The room was cosy warm and clean, bed was big and comfy. En-suite bathroom and shower, water was nice and warm. Continental breakfast with loads of fruit, cereal, croissants, butter and jam, fresh milk and OJ everymorning everything was replenished as needed. Great stay all this and stunning scenery. Well worth a visit. Thanks Paul.

Good continental breakfast and large room, great shower but bed was too soft for us and gave us a bad back. Thats just our opinion on the bed everything else was fine.

Nothing royal about this place, cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired, both in terms of the room and the dining. Stink of cannabis was very strong. Also house keeping left our room unlocked whilst valuables were left in room. Wouldn't recommend at all

Right from the start we began enjoying the break. Paul the owner made us feel welcome. He cooked us both excellent evening meals. The room was lovely with an ensuite And the breakfast beautifully cooked. We intend to go back in the summer and to stay for longer. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone.

We had an overnight stay with dinner and breakfast for 2 on a groupon deal for 79 and to be honest we can't complain really, sky tv in each room, bed comfy and en suite in working order, bar prices are fair and staff friendly, Paul who I guess is the owner was straight forward and helpful. The main plus point is the food, good portions and made perfectly, the breakfast particularly.
