Basic clean accommodation. Excellent host a genuinely friendly good man, nothing was too much trouble. Full English breakfast was included and was spot on. Very hard to fault for the price. Parking is remote from the property and is in a private car park. It looks a bit shady but 2 motor bikes were there overnight without issue.

Breakfast was good. Didn't like the car parking as too far away from hotel and not secure. Rooms could do with and upgrade, and as no toilet in each bedroom as I had to share. Also not suitable for disabled access, as no lift and too many steap stairs.
