3* room, 5* food and service! The room was okay - the bed was really comfy but the walls were paper-thin and the bathroom was chilly. However, the food in the restaurant and breakfast were delicious and the service from the whole team was fantastic.

This is a pub with rooms above it , in an old building , steep staircase, nowhere to sit and work with a laptop . Heating took a lot of attention to come on. Really only suitable for an overnight stay. Staff are attentive, breakfast is very good , the pub is great with satellite football on in two bars. Not that suitable for work travellers.
