Can’t comment on the rooms as I’ve not stayed in one but can tell you the food is amazing, can’t get over the Portion size you get for the price, & the food is made with care & very tasty!.. highly recommend if you’re passing or new to area like myself..
Had food here, service was friendly and good, the food was really nice, plentiful and came out in a good time. Only negative is that it's really dark inside so when you go inside from the car park, it's not very welcoming or inviting.
Meal for 20 people, couldn't have been more helpful, function room was lovely and warm, staff couldn't be anymore helpful, very reasonable pricing and food was lovely, been several times and never had a bad meal, well worth stopping in can't comment on rooms as never stayed
Didn't stay here but ate here two days running. The food is amazing and service is superb. Portion sizes and value for money is second to none! No complaints at all from a party of 6!
