Very clean room with a comfortable bed. Room is alittle dated but great value for money. Rooms are located right next to the pub which has friendly staff and good food at reasonable prices.
Really nice property and staff. The accommodation was clean, though a little dated. The bistro is excellent with a lot of food options, so very convenient for families and anyone stopping by or staying awhile.
The room was clean comfortable and spacious. Had a meal in the dining room where the service and staff were excellent. The food was delicious. Would definitely go back and recommend.
A real little gem. Rooms are basic but have everything you need for a short stay, spotlessly clean & cosy. The bistro is a great thing to have in such a small country staff & all the staff we interacted with at the bar & in the bistro were just fantastic. Great experience & would definitely stay again if in the area 👍

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great value. Very clean & comfortable. Friendly, polite staff. The buildings are dated, but everything works, comfortable beds, hot water; & for what i wanted, it was excellent value - & the meals at the Hotel were great!
Friendly customer service, nice clean big rooms, walking distance to the bistro, great food, area and people. Thanks Rubicon, you get my vote. See you again soon 👍👍👍👍👍
We booked a 3 bedroom unit. It was perfect for my 2 sisters and my husband and myself for the specific occasion we were to hold. The rooms were lovely and very comfortable. The staff at the hotel were amazingly kind and helpful.
A small friendly motel, comfy beds and clean
Very wet outside for our stay. Given the muddy surrounds, an internal mat/ rack for mucky shoes would be good.
