Very warm welcome.

We stayed in a family room for one night. The room was decent size. The bathroom was small but the shower was good. The lady who checked us in was very friendly. The bar is nice too. There is a lot of noise from the bar until after 11pm, which we were warned about, and it was a Saturday so to be expected!

Decent stop over

Great pub. Lively atmosphere. Live music is still quite loud in the rooms until finish time 10/.30/11pm(?). If not your thing may be best to check if there is any music planned for the night of your stay. (My stay was Saturday night)After hours area is very quiet. Limited on site parking at the rear with narrow bays. Additional free parking on the road without issue. Food is available but I gather the kitchen keeps variable hours so if you intended to eat there may be best to check first
