Great place to stay. Two brothers run this hotel and are most welcoming and friendly. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The evening meal we had on arrival was delicious and the breakfast was wonderful. The staff are very nice and the service is great. The hotel is bigger than it looks from the outside with rooms up and down small stairs and an interesting interior. Lovely village setting and great history in the area. Walking round the village after our meal, the locals were friendly and approachable when asking for directions to the local castle ruins and even passing people in the street said hood evening to us. Would definitely stay there again.

Stayed with 4 others while cycling the Reivers 10 route. Has bicycle storage facilities. The owner cooks all the food and it's excellent. Beds were really soft and comfortable. Lovely staff and very accommodating. Also worth mentioning it's dog friendly. Thanks!

Wonderful spot to stay at! Jason the owner is a fantastic host and very friendly. Our family of four stayed here two nights and couldn’t be more impressed with Jason and his staff, everyone was very kind and helpful and made us feel very comfortable. The restaurant and breakfast area were also excellent and the location of the place can’t be beat, we will definitely return to stay here again

Stayed with five mates for a couple of nights as we were marshaling a rally in the area. Rooms were just what we needed. Cracking breakfast one morning and a good continental one the second as we were away early. The food in the restaurant was stunning both nights and would highly recommend. Very friendly and helpful staff too.

Went to vist a family member that's just moved to the town, popped in for a drink and food as it's her local, friendly, welcoming and good value for money. I had a 16oz steak with all the trimmings, cooked to perfection rare and the peppercorn sauce was just amazing. Will be back again definitely, and will be booking a room too. The service was amazing from the staff.
