Second time staying here in the last 7 months and I think this place is top notch. From the extremely helpful and friendly staff, to the incredible breakfasts included with our room and the excellent dinners we purchased in the evenings, to the superb communication by hotel staff, and the clean and comfortable rooms…I will certainly be back in the future. I’d love to see whoever is running this business teach these principles of professionalism and attention to detail to larger chains because they just get it! Eric Slivoskey

Excellent hotel on NC500 route. Easily parked to rear of property. Helpful staff with big clean rooms and competitively priced dinner menu in restaurant. Breakfast was perfect to set us up for the days onward travel. We stayed in room 18 which was right next to the road on the ground floor. Was honestly a little noisy with traffic initially but settled in evening and we slept ok. Suggestions: King sized beds would be a good improvement as room is big enough. We were awoken by a group loudly chatting while waiting for a coach pickup outside our window at 7am, so would suggest hotel put a sign on window just asking anyone waiting to be mindful of customers sleeping.

The room was very clean. Was a nice touch having biscuits on the tea tray. The staff were excellent. Special shout out to Michelle who made sure our stay was special. The breakfast was fantastic. Fresh fruit available. The hot stuff was good to perfection. We did have evening meals aswell which were also excellent and a great choice and really good value. Parking was available and if the car park was full, there is availability on the street
