Lovely place to stay
What a great find. The perfect stop off on our way to the Highlands. The room (room 5) was incredibly spacious and clean. The service was friendly and genuine and the food was well cooked and great value. The breakfast in particular was clearly cooked to order and piping hot. Definitely recommend this place.

Lovely hotel close to motorway
Lovely hotel not too far away from the M6. Bed was really comfortable and bedding really nice. Food was nice and service good only problem was the numerous flies in the dining room. Breakfast was really nice and freshly cooked to order. Bacon was amazing! All the staff are really pleasant and helpful.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pub is very clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, ideal for a stopover on a long journey, ideal for walkers. The food was good pub fare. Ideal location, easy to get to the major routes north and south.

Old pub hotel with much character, very nice comfortable room. We had dinner in the bar which was very good. Bar had a real fire and real ale, very nice. Breakfast the next day was very good with many cooked options. Very good value overall.

Ticked every box. Met every expectation.
A great place to stay on our way to Scotland. Ticked every box. Met every expectation. We’ll definitely be back when we walk the coast to coast.

Wonderful place to stop while hiking the coast to coast trail. Didn't realize you had to walk around the building to check in just off the parking lot, since we didn't arrive by car. Steph was so welcoming and did a load of wash for us for a small donation in their cup on the bar. A fire alarm went off at 450 am bolting us out of bed. Turned out to be nothing but I think I remember reading about this happening before in someone's write up. Dinner and breakfast was good!

Spur of the moment booking & we found this little gem! Have used booking sites before & occasionally a place shows up thats a real nugget. This was one of them. Exceptionally clean & well kept, well appointed rooms & fittings. Good choice of well kept real ales . Excellent well cooked substantial breakfast.

We only noticed after we were packing up to leave that the duvet was very dirty, and we had to ask for toilet paper.

Only one used toilet roll in room on arrival, looked as if housekeeping had only made up the bed , room didn't look as if it ha been cleaned after last guests, no hairdryer in room,bare magnolia walls,couldn't get TV to work management were not very helpful to ty and fix problem.
Very disappointed as we could have used hotel as a stopover on our journeys home from Wales.

This is going to be a lovely hotel
Easy to find. Big car park. Well signposted. Lovely staff. The hotel is still undergoing a complete renovation but taking this into account everything was excellent. Breakfast was good. No food on in the evening yet but soon. Minor things like a handle needed on the inside of the bathroom door, a small shelf needed near the bathroom basin to put toothbrushes etc on, toilet roll holder needed but these will all be seen to in the near future. This hotel is going to be very popular as a great location from which to go in any direction. Would recommend. Chris and Karen.
