Comfortable room and good breakfast.
The only challenge was that the parking wasn’t the easiest to find.

Another pleasant stay
I stay here for the convenience and location to where I need to be. Second stay here. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I had a queen size bed which was lovely and comfy.
Breakfast was also nice. It’s a lovely old pub/hotel with a friendly atmosphere. Would recommend.

Nice place to stay, staff were very helpful.
The room was nice and clean but the bathroom could do with a better clean, dust in the corners but we could live with that.
