The staff are friendly, easy to talk to and gave advice on where to eat locally. The room was clean and adequate for our stay, also a bit quirky, the floor definitely had a slope but the building is really old. The breakfast was a good size and cooked freshly. Juice toast and lovely marmalade are also on hand. Parking is fine and the way out is marked, it’s a bit tight but a lot safer than trying to go out directly onto the main road.
