Booked for new year but forgot to leave a review! Arrived about 4pm, had a late lunch which was nice, drinks were flowing nicely, got talking to the locals and stayed at the bar all night! Richard, Clare & staff were great and were very welcoming, nothing was any trouble. The room was spacious and very comfortable, had a lovely full English breakfast before our departure the next day. Would definitely return!

A good friendly stay.
The best compliment I can give is that we will be back again. What really stood out apart from the comfy rooms and fantastic breakfast was how helpful and willing the staff were to rectify any concerns or issues.

Fantastic place.....dont hesitate !
My mum and best friend stayed at The Avenue, nice size room, very clean, tidy and well presented.
Fantastic breakfast the next morning. They couldnt do enough for them. Even made them both a cup of tea whilst they say outside in the lovely area out the back. Will and have recommened The Avenue to friends. They are also organising events in the evening that myself and friends would like to go to....i live locally. Looking forward to visiting !! And i would like to say a big thankyou for looking after my mum !!

Clean, comfortable and value for money
This was a last minute booking due to a family emergency, we found the accommodation adequate for our needs and the price paid.
Clean and fairly comfortable, the highlight was the excellent cooked breakfast.

Enjoyed it
I had a lovely stay, the room was cosy and comfortable, and all staff I spoke to was very nice, down to earth, helpful and accomodating. Breakfast was really well cooked and tasty.
The only feedback I have is that it was quite dusty on the floor between the bed and wall, and on the top of the headboard.
The electric shower was as electric showers are; functional but not super efficient.
I'll stress though that I did really enjoy my stay and would definitely stay again.
