    Breakfast was great -lots of choices, cook-it-yourself, so available 24 hours a day. The decor was great - the breakfast room was decorated as an American diner, and each bedroom was decorated differently.

Property information

Superior accommodation for ladies and gentlemen with a motoring flavour. You do not need to like cars to stay at our unique small boutique hotel. Four fabulous bedrooms individually designed and styled from various periods in time. The 'help yourself breakfast' in the large American Diner is one of the many great features. As seen on Channel 4 TV "4 In A Bed" programme, which we won. Four star gold AA rated and with great reviews also on Trip Advisor - a great place to stay and relax, getting away from it all. CHECK IN :- 2.00pm to 7.00pm - later CHECK IN by prior arrangement, no problem. Regards, Melvyn, Sindy & Mariella
