Absolutely amazing little gem of a hotel/BnB. We stayed here for a few nights. Kelly is an amazing passionate host always going the extra mile for her guests. My kids absolutely loved the swimming pool and smashed the slush machine 😆. Great value breakfast. Everyone had a cooked breakfast on top of helping themselves to fruit and yogurts etc. we will definitely return next year.

We've sad to be leaving today. Have had a wonderful time here with our 3 children. Kelly is just the best host!!hotel is spotless,we stayed in a family room which had plenty of space for 5 of us and comfortable beds.Breakfast is scrummy with very good quality produce. Lovely bar with a good selection of drinks, and we had great fun watching the kids trying to play pool. The swimming pool (heated) was a massive hit and with all the Inflatables Kelly makes sure everyone's stay is an enjoyable one!I feel so lucky to of found this gem of a place to celebrate my 40th birthday and we will definitely be returning in the future! Highly recommend!

A wonderful little place! Immaculately clean rooms, heated pool, plenty of space to spend time indoors if it's raining (a pool table, a lounge with a TV and a games console, a licensed bar and a dining area where you can eat your own food, like a takeaway), but above all the most welcoming host and proprietor Kelly. Truly, a home from home experience. Thank you, we will be back!
