We received the following comments in July 09 "Really nice family run yard with most facilities available. On the whole a friendly yard, however we did find the owner probably one of the most ignorant rude and unhelpful people we had ever come across.However this was not the norm and the staff are pleasant with the standard of customer service being generally good."
