A lovely find…

I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely my room was. Obviously a lot of thought had gone into the decor. I had a good nights sleep. The area was very quiet. The menu in the pub was good and varied. I had the most perfect lamb chop! I hope I might have a reason to return!

Everything just felt a little overpriced

Was working in the area and this seemed a good option, I was particularly keen on the fact it advertised having an EV charger. Unfortunately when we arrived that wasn’t working. And whilst the place was ok, for the price of it you would expect just that bit more. The food in the restaurant was ok, the breakfast was ok, most things we just ok.
