John, the property manager, was super friendly and extremely helpful. Other than a pub, there is very little around the property. The room was good for a night, but definitely could have been cleaner. There was also no fridge in the room, which is challenging when the accommodation was for a stop on a roadtrip.

Really lovely spacious room. I really struggle to sleep away from home but had no problem here. The beds were really comfortable and it was so quiet. The pub next door did fantastic food and all the prices were so reasonable. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Property needed a deep clean. I sneezed a lot and had black dust come out of my nose. Heating didn’t work sometimes and the room was quite cold. I booked through Expedia and check out said 11 am and I wasn’t told any check out time by the owner. On the morning of check out a cleaner knocked at the door and we shouted we were still inside. I popped to the loo and finished packing my back when the cleaner knocked again which I thought was odd so I double checked on my emails and then clarified the check out time being 11 am with the lady and she responded no check out time is 10 am.

It would have been perfect if the pub and kitchen was actually open. We were not informed that they closed the bar and restaurant side and had no Wi-Fi. Apart from that the room itself was pretty nice and tidy. I wouldn’t return unless it was actually open for food and drinks.
