Good sized room and bathroom. Surprisingly quiet as it is on the main road. Only problem was that they have stopped serving breakfast - only brunch after 12 noon. The local cafes were OK but only offered cooked breakfast items; for yoghurt, croissants etc it had to be Tesco next door.

As we arrived to check in the lady was lovely and took us to our room and explained if we needed anything to let her know, which was a lovely. The room was unique as it is in a pub and it did have an en-suite with a shower. The only down side is the sink is low down and you can hit your head on the shelf that is attached to the mirror. We did not try the breakfast But overall we had a great stay.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Its a pub with rooms, bit tired around the edges. Good food in bar. Not great if you are unsready on your feet as old building and uneven floors in the rooms. Access out of pub hours not easy via a very hard to open fire exit to a rear yard and down a narrow set of metal stairs, wouldnt fancy it in the dark. Need to take more care cleaning as trod on glass in the bathroom. As i started its pub with rooms and overpriced for what it is.
