We liked the spacious room and bathroom . Bed was fine . It was warm while we were there and with the window open a noisy motorcycle disturbed my sleep . Other traffic noise was OK

The lady in reception might have had a long day, she was a bit grumpy, other than that a more than adequate over night stay, parking was really great, right outside the room. We would stay again

It's good for a stopover on route but not much around - other than the clay cliffs. It did have a pub and supermarket which was handy
