The staff were amazing the food was first class. Just thought it a bit cheeky when we all got charged £10 each room for early check in as the rooms would have been getting cleaned anyway

Ok, not great.

The room was dated and tired, high level window meant you couldn’t see out. Noise from adjoining pub could disturb some (I had earplugs). Fine for a one night stopover. Room rate was expensive for what it was.

Would stay again

It was comfortable & room quiet after a long drive. service was reasonable considering the staff were stretched during an afternoon party. People were generally pleasant and did well. Pity no food on offer on a Sunday night but since it was a central location there was plenty on offer locally.

Stay was comfortable in a quiet area. -Disappointed that they had no real ale on the handpumps,on previous stays enjoyed locally brewed ales. -Hot water in sink was uncomfortably hot without the addition of cold.

Very tired and dated. Room was tiny; we could hardly walk around the beds to get to the bathroom without bumping into the bed or the wall. Windows wouldn’t shut properly. Overpriced for what it is.
