    Easy to find and were extremely well received when we arrived. The best hostess you will come across, Sue was so helpful and caring and nothing was any trouble. Sue even offered to do the washing for us, she was concerned about the road noise...

    An older hotel, with an imaculately clean room. A bottle of milk was offered at check in which is much better than a couple of the little plastic pots. Plenty of hot water. Walking distance to McDonald's for a quick morning coffee.

    Location was good. Basic rooms but comfortable enough. Rooms could do with a bit of airing during winter to freshen things up. But nice enough rooms for a short stay,
