Andy

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Quaint with cheerful helpful staff.
I had a single room at the front of the hotel. It was clean and tidy. I had a comfortable night. I’d like some EV charging in the car park, but there are some near the town hall a short walk away.

Great dog friendly stay
Very welcoming and friendly staff, dog friendly rooms, bar and breakfast. The room was very comfortable with dog bowls. Great shower and toiletries. Breakfast served in the cafe across the road which as delicious and nice to have food served rather than a semi-warm buffet! Great stay.
