Very friendly and helpful staff, great customer service and good breakfast.
One of the friendliest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Fabulous staff, friendly locals, good beer & food and free parking right outside the door. To top it all off the breakfast is amazing. I’d stay here again next time I’m travelling this way.

Room was great. Staff where really nice and food from the restaurant was amazing 😍
Lovely country hotel set in a beautiful wee village. Tastefully decorated, friendly helpful staff, great choice of menu for breakfast and evening meal. We will definitely stay again.
Lovely room and amazing shower. Staff very friendly. Went above and beyond to help us with requests. Weather was terrible and gave us a lift to train station afterwards. Top place top people. Lovely food
Great staff, clean room and fantastic food. The breakfast in particular was exceptional. But be warned, the portions are huge. All in all, a quaint little hotel that offers service well above its price band
