Lovely staff and good pub. Room was very basic and tired. The bed was lumpy and hard. The room was clean however. Just needs a few updates.

The room was a fair size. It was rather hot but you can turn the radiator off. It is on a main road and there is a lot of traffic noise. But it is nice and clean and the staff are helpful. They did us bacon sandwiches to go instead of having to sit down for breakfast.
