Liked: So welcoming and friendly. First time in our motor home and was great place to stay and learn. Really chilled owners - saw us in and left us to it for the rest of the time until the visit to the bar in the hotel and accommodated for us (putting on our football team on the bar TV) and even brought us out free snacks like chips, bread butter and gravy ! We will be returning !
