Stopped over on cleveland way. Had a long hot day and was ready to get feet up. Got sorted on arrival quickly and settled. Had a good meal especially the tomato soup. Slight hiccup with breakfast arrangement but got resolved quickly, would recommend a stopover.

Breakfast was average (full English and Eggs Royale). F.E could have been hotter and felt like it may have been pre-prepared. Parking is hit and miss on first come first served basis. Other than that, a really nice characterful place to stay.
