9/10 Wonderful! (108 reviews)
A good place for our overnight stay. The bed was massive and comfortable. Room was clean as was en-suite although a shower would improve this setting. Breakfast was good and host was amicable.

Having travelled this road most of my life I'd never had occasion to stop off here before. It's actually a lovely town off the main road with small shops, groceries and several good food and drinks stops. Definitely worth a browse.
