Property staff were going arm and welcoming. The inn is dated and not exceptionally maintained. There were loose fittings, mold in bathrooms and the curtains were missing some hooks and drooped a bit. The location and setting were classic, but for the cost the quality lagged a bit.

Very average. Overall a nice pub area. Checkin was rushed. No parking nearby and confusing as to which car parks allowed overnight parking. Carpets were filthy and didn't look like they had been hoovered in a week. Breakfast was fine.
