Only stayed for the one night with my young family. We arrived late but called in advanced to let them know. I was greeted when we arrived and let inside. The owner turned on all the heaters so it was lovely and warm for our kids to snuggle straight into bed. Lovely stay and great staff.

This was an excellent stay for us. The owner was super friendly, the room(#9) was a large area with a second bedroom, wifi worked well, the towels were good quality, and parking right outside the door. All the attributes we judge a hotel by were fantastic.
