Staff were all lovely! Locals also very nice, real friendly village feel in the bar. Food was good and lovely little garden to sit out the back and escape the heat! Rooms were basic but did the job for our one night stay. Saw some photos online before going that worried us but room and bathroom and all public spaces very clean so don’t be put off!

Such welcoming staff who were so helpful in the morning. Breakfast was wonderful, really tasty and lots of variety. The full Scottish breakfast was a firm favourite! The room was super clean and quiet. A lovely stay if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle, which a quaint village feel. This has a family feel to it! Thank you, my 7 year old son would love to stay again.

Short stay

Overnight stay with evening meal and breakfast. Meals were good and plentiful. Booked family room for two adults which had a bit more space. What made the hotel was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Only downside was there was only on street parking.

Loved the town and area. People very hospitable. Cute hotel and very reasonable but the room was so small the bed hit the door. If you don’t mind extra tight quarters then go for it.

An overnighter en route from Scotland

Great little village close yo the A1 - perfect for an overnight stop from Scotland. Very friendly staff at check in who showed us to our room which was small and dated Evening meal was delicious but there was a limited choice of drinks- no cider and only one white wine. Breakfast was included which is good but no marmalade or fruit and limited choice. It was tasty though. Preston Mill is situated within easy walking distance and served as a great after breakfast visit.
