Friendly, comfy, really good place to stay.

Arrived at about 8.45pm after a flight back to the UK, and wanted to stop rather than drive all the way home. Super friendly welcome, still happy to serve dinner - it was lovely - comfy bed, piping hot show and super breakfast. Will definitely stay again when in the area.
