Commercial Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good value for a few days away days away. Clean and welcoming staff."

The Three Horseshoes Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was a good place for my American visitors to spend their first night in the UK. A traditional pub in a very attractive town. Dinner and breakfast were good. We found the parking area at the back of Morrisons. A bit tight but after some back and forth I managed to wedge the car in and didn't block anyone else."

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to stay, amazing food. "

The Little Flat

10/10 Excellent

"Walking distance to the shops. Steep stairs on entry and several changes in floor level within the flat. Difficult for an elderly guest. Very quiet."
