My partner and I stayed here a few weeks ago to have a break for the weekend. If you're looking for something low budget, clean with friendly service this is the perfect place! The accommodation is very well maintained and everything we needed for a weekend stay

Arriving early evening the manager kindly put the heater on before arrival, placed fresh milk in fridge and placed key under mat as reception was about to close. Much appreciated after a long drive in cold, wet weather.
