8.0

We stay here solely because of the pub which we love we can walk to it from our room

We have stayed here numerous times over the years the rooms are nice and clean and comfortable but rather small no complaints about that when they were cheaper and I do realize everything has got dearer but this motel more so than others have also noticed it's not so busy anymore maybe some winter deals to get people back 😊 there are deals everywhere in winter and we explore them all
