Just back from an overnight stay at the Blue Ball Inn and it was lovely. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, room lovely and clean and has everything you need. We had our evening meal there which was delicious and breakfast the next morning was just as good. Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend

Excellent
Very good, lovely comfortable bed, great shower and loved the cookies, a nice treat. Dinner was excellent but service could have been better considering it wasn’t busy but no big deal. Would definitely recommend but ask for a room at the back
