酒店位於鄉村公路旁。房間比較大。早餐是英國當地傳統食物，對於體驗正宗英國生活來説，應當吃一頓全英早餐。

Excellent Hotel
Excellent - friendly hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are clean and way above the star listing in terns of facilities. There is a pub below the accommodation but there is no issue with noise. The food is very good quality and plenty of ir. This pace is my ‘go to’ on business to the North East

A hidden Gem
A really nice friendly place to stay offering a warm welcome, very nice, spotlessly clean en suite comfortable rooms, at truly amazing prices, which include a fantastic breakfast.
The inn also provides good wholesome food all day.
I thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay to break your journey en route to Scotland.

Food was good and our room was very good apart from the en-suite door which was very dirty both sides, it hasn’t been painted so all dirt soaks in. It needs a towel hook inside the en-suite.
If that door was clean, our stay would have been perfect.
