What recent reviews say

Guests return again and again for the owner's genuine warmth and the spotless, spacious rooms. Clean beds, working air-con, and a car park for two make it a reliable stop for families; the real draw is how the owner treats visitors like old friends, often arranging transport from the train station.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
