Really good hospitality

clean roomreally good breakfastboxed breakfastgreat hospitality
The room and bathroom were clean. The continental breakfast was really good and the landlord was happy to make me a flask of coffee. I needed to get to the showground early each day so he boxed up my breakfast, which I really enjoyed. Hospitality was great all round.
The tea-making facilities had no milk or sugar in the room.

There is plenty of parking on site and it felt secure as the gate was locked overnight. WiFi quality is fab, a godsend because I did not have much mobile signal in the area.

Mixed Experience at the Inn

limited selectionfried food smell
Breakfast lacked variety. It offered only continental options. I believe more selection would improve the experience considering the room price. the smell of fried food permeated my clothing. This odor detracted from the overall quality of my stay.
