"Older property so was initially worried about the bed but it was surprisingly comfortable and there was a heated mattress pad! The bar/restaurant was busy with a good vibe and the fish and chips was excellent with a light tempura coating and perfectly cooked! The berry crumble for dessert was light and delicious. The staff was excellent, friendly, attentive."

"Kate and Shane were wonderful hosts during my recent stay. The continental breakfast was perfect and had the bonus of nice yogurt, fresh fruit and fresh eggs too. I could not have asked for a better place to recover from a day being battered by headwinds on my bike! I will definitely stay here again when the opportunity arises. Thanks again to both of you for your wonderful hospitality."
