Friendly check in and we were allowed to take our motorcycles down to the pods so that they were secure. Good food and spotlessly clean accommodation. Biker friendly site.

The most comfortable bed ever! It felt very hard but gave both of us the best night's sleep for a long time as it was easy to roll and move on. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. Only snag was that the pods were at the bottom of a very steep slope which was a challenging walk for someone with restricted mobility, but we managed. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it heartily. Good value.
