"Room was huge so was the bathroom plenty of room for the whole family and fury friends if you have them! Beds were comfortable and clean everything provided for a lovely stay. Sunday roast and other foods were beautiful and yummy. Would stay again for sure, reception staff were amazing and offered up gluten free options and places we could eat when they had stopped serving when we arrived, lovely little town. Everything you’d need. Local shop, coffee shop, pub’s, restaurants and a tiny petrol station all within the same high street that’s less than a mile long. Great value for money 🌟"
