It’s a guest house not a hotel. Check in was quick and friendly. Basic room and had a shower. Toilet down the hall which is not a problem. Nothing much in the area other than a Tescos (Sunday. Closed at 4pm!) walk into town is doable. At this price point for a one night stay as a solo traveller, this property was just fine.

We really liked the room. It was roomy and the beds were very comfortable. We liked being at the top of the guest house. The table, chairs and small fridge were all very convenient. It was difficult to control the temperature on the shower and the toilet didn’t flush easily. Other than that we loved our experience. Thank you!

Checked in and was given room 3 on 1st floor at the front of the house overlooking Lidl. Twin beds as expected, one quite soft, the other firmer. There was a full sized fridge and microwave in the room, tea and coffee and biscuits, lovely white towels and spotless bed linen , a kettle and mugs a microwave and windows that opened!! All great. There were thoughtful touches like chocolate on the pillow which were very welcome. For me, there was only a couple of not very important niggles. The toilet was an electric one which didn’t flush wadte away very easily. The motor was quite noisy which could have been a problem especially as it went on for some time afyer flushing. It took several flushes to clear the bowl. So i was very glad i was on my own! The major problem was the sink. It was tiny! This made filling the kettle ( full sized) impossible so it had to be filled a mug at a time. Unfortunately, the water was brown from the tap for the first night(i was there for 2) so it wasn't drinkable. This is a common problem in rural areas and easily remedied by crossing the road and buying a bottle at Lidl! The shower was lovely so i was extremely happ overall. Excellent value for money. No food provided but there is lidl opposite and a Sainsburys with a cafe about 5 mins along the road. A plate and cutlery would have been needed to use the microwave. Overall, a good stay

Not really value for money.
Room was tidy but in need of modernisation. We did not get a good night's sleep because of our neighbours noisy power shower at 6am. The main road outside was also noisy even though we had shut the windows. There was no breakfast included, which could have been made clearer on the hotel details. Not enough car parking spaces for the number of guests.

When we arrived we were abruptly greeted. I assumed it was some miscommunication, but whilst being checked in another guest arrived. She was dealt with even more poorly. I'd go as far as saying the member of staff was ignorant. If this was my place I'd have been embarrassed. The second day we met another member of staff, who was extremely pleasant. Completely chalk and cheese. The place is tired. Our room had no hot water, and the radiator didn't work. The shower was hit and miss. The TV had appalling reception and all channels kept dropping out, making it unusable even as background. The beds were not the most comfortable and they had no top sheet, just a small quilt. The bathroom could have done with some shelves. It had plenty of parking, and was conveniently located.

Check in was easy and beds were comfortable. Our room was not thoroughly cleaned. The shower was not very good because it was hard to regulate the water temperature.

For the price, I cannot fault this accommodation. Really lovely staff, very basic rooms but good size, nice bath in the room I stayed in. Heating came on about 7pm bit cold before then but purely used the place to sleep in. Useful place to stay. Lidl is right opposite for basic essentials. No breakfast served lbut town is a 10 min walk with huge choice. Very happy
