Great value hotel this one. We received the warmest of welcomes on arrival. Made to feel very welcome and at home. Nothing was too much trouble. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Shower was excellent. And although we didn`t get a chance to sample the bar area (Cos we were out for the evening at a prog rock celebration in... More

The bedrooms are old and basic, but the bathroom was brand new and there was a note in the guide in the room which said they are looking to refurbish all rooms by the end of 2013, and for the price we paid we were more than happy with the room. When we arrived we went into the bar which... More

This old-style 'Ma & Pop' motel is cheap, simple, friendly and clean. The home-prepared food is also good value.

The staff were friendly enough but stumped when asked for VAT receipt for food, though this was finally resolved by the manager. Although toldf internet... More
