This is the second time we have stayed at this property and already booked to come back again. Everything you need for a pleasant stay. Free parking is also a bonus. Just a few minutes away from the showground where they hold antique fairs. Jeff is an excellent host and cooks amazing meals. Looking forward to going back again soon.

Breakfast was average, room was comfortable but a bit dirty around room, shower was cold but only to find out the merging switch needs time to heat. Giving the inn was out in the country it wasnt at all bad. Value for money definitely. The host was welcoming and accommodated our wishes & choices in Breakfast
