Wonderful Inn and Restaurant

Owner checked me in, really lovely guy. Very friendly and helpful. Room nice and comfy. Restaurant downstairs had a special on, so i had a sampling of the goat and the venison curry. Best I've ever had. Owner also pours a mean Guinness. I'll definitely be back!

Excellent stay.

i was given a warm reception on arrival and this theme carried on throughout my three night stay. The room i was allocated was excellent, clean, warm and spacious with a ensuite shower and plenty of storage space. The bar / restaurant area was a pleasure to enjoy the food was outstanding and the company likewise. It is a long time since i have a enjoyed such a warm atmosphere and will be returning again when i am in the area, thank you Mark.
