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.

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
