Stayed one night, easy check-in and parking was close by. The room was very clean, good shower but does spread the water around. The bed is comfy and linen is good quality, convenient location and the meals in the bar/bistro are excellent.

Was really pleasantly surprised at how good the room was for a pub room. The bathroom was very modern, the room was comfortable and the staff were amazing. Would definitely stay again. My only one thing was there was what sounded like a fan that ran outside somewhere overnight so for light sleepers it may irriate light sleepers, but it didn't bother me.

Good for couple, not family. Very good location. Clean rooms but one of our rooms (the biggest one) got smoke smell. Put the room make up on the handle but just provided new towels, didn’t tidy up. Shower is too high and water splashed out since no door or curtain for the shower area.
