It added: “When booking, the inn looked like a pleasant stay. But, it was unexpectedly more. The staff were friendly and helpful; the room simple but great, clean and spacious; the bathroom also clean and spacious.
“The breakfast very generous and tasty. We had dinner in the pub one night and it did not disappoint: great portions, tasty, and not a long wait; plus the selection of beers/ales/cider was great. Ample parking. And we felt safe and secure inside and outside. When traveling in this area, this is definitely a place to stay.”
