What a great stay! The room was lovely, spacious, clean and really nicely decorated. The breakfast hamper was a lovely touch. The bathroom was massive and had a bath in it as well as a shower which was great. I really wasn’t expecting it to be so good as the price was low. We would definitely stay again.

The room was good, clean and bed comfortable. There was a complimentary breakfast basket and refreshment facility. We were not informed that the restaurant was closed until with arrived and not on the website. Worth checking out beforehand.

We were in one of the refurbished rooms which was vey clean, however there is obviously still some additions that are required in the main areas that look very drab and neglected. The heating in the bedroom was good but the en-suite bathroom had no heating at all and was so cold you didn't want to shower in there, the addition of some form of heating is needed here .A bin in the bathroom and some sort of shelf to put your own bits and pieces on would be useful.A mirror in the bedroom would be a good addition. The breakfast hamper and small chiller is a nice touch and was useful. Overall the stay was good and once the renovations are complete we are sure it will all look lovely.

Both the bedroom and ensuite were very clean. People were helpful and friendly. Within walking distance of shops, supermarket and several restaurants. The place was built several hundred years ago so has plenty of beautiful features in the pub.

The room was beautiful!! It’s recently been done apparently, and there was a lovely hamper and fridge with food and drinks included. The only issue was the shower wasn’t amazing and was hard to get to the right temperature. Otherwise staff super lovely to and great pub! Highley recommend - Lauren
