Work stay.

A 1 night stay for work reasons. The pub and food are excellent with a good selection at a reasonable price. My room was comfortable but very cold due to the old leaking sash windows. All in all for the price it's ok for a 1 night stay.

Staff friendly but room tired

Did the job but won’t be returning. For example: 1) Electric shower with poor pressure and either boiling hot or lukewarm. 2) Basic bed with thin mattress. 3) No desk. 4) Music blaring from the pub bar until 10:30pm.

Very comfortable accommodation and good breakfast. The only constructive comment I’d make is the bathroom was modern & spacious yet had a tiny wash basin & mirror with no shaving light.
