We come here once a year every year while camping. Never disappoints as food is just delicious, hot and fresh and steaks to die for. Staff welcoming and service from the young staff inspiring as efficient and polite (so refreshing these days!) welcomed by a lovely man who explained everything to us.

Went for my husbands 40th birthday on Sunday and wow, the carvery was top notch! Food and service really was fantastic and they even went to the effort of putting up a happy birthday banner. Thank you for a lovely meal, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Went while on holiday nearby. Food as usual was lovely. They have a doggy menu and our dogs love the mixed grill! Staff as usual were friendly and helpful. Lianne was lovely and had only been there a few nights. Have gone in every time we are on holiday and always a great experience.

We stayed at this place for one night. The room was clean with excellent tea making facilities. The bathroom was especially clean. Easy to find with a big car park. It gets a bit noisy around 10.30 when the boy racers are out but does not last long as they have to go home. We did not try the food as we were meeting friends in the town.
