Very clean cabin, dog friendly but pay a bit extra. Shop and chip shop close by. Food also served in the pub but not breakfast. Can be noisy as pub puts on live music.

Alan

Liked: Room comfort
The room was quite large and very comfortable, with plenty of storage. It had a double bed and a single bed (we were in room 3). The steps up to the rooms were quite steep. There was used food in the fridge, which we mentioned to bar staff on a couple of occasions, but it was still not cleared during our stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was tidy with all the facilities you need, but even with a smaller double bed there was not much spare room. The WiFi was good - 85Mbps down & 60Mbps up. The bathroom unfortunately had the previous guest’s poo in the toilet, which was annoying but it flushed away easily. The bathroom door didn’t shut. Food in the restaurant was standard pub fare, but still very nice. No breakfast was available as staff were not on duty first thing.

Good for an overnight stay on a budget

Fairly basic, bed not too comfortable but perfectly good enough for our overnight stay. Staff friendly and helpful but evening meal not good. Overall, a low cost for the area so a good budget option.

Wouldn't stay again

Arrived only 10 minutes early but were made to wait in the bar. Led up to our room along a corridor and stairs loaded with vacuum cleaners and coats. Light only came on when you had reached the top which left you in pitch black. First impressions of the room were, oh dear. But it was clean. Room had a king sized bed and a single, again, clean. Mattress was very thin and uncomfortable. Bathroom has to be the smallest I've ever seen. Sink way too big, no room to dry yourself after a shower. Nice selection of tea and coffee but fridge had not been cleaned and had a puddle of milk in it.

Perfect weekend stay in Pod

Stayed in one of the pods for a weekend. Staff were very welcoming & helpful. Kitchen was about to close when we arrived, but they still served us a meal which was lovely. Pod was easy to access, spotlessly clean and tidy and had everything we needed.

Perfect location for our needs for a one night stay, plenty of parking and a friendly welcome. Despite us arriving early the room was ready for us, and we enjoyed eating there in the evening. The room was spacious and accommodating, the bathroom less so.
