The girl who check us in was very nice and super helpful on pointing out places to eat and getting us settled into our room. The oatmeal, granola bars and croissants in our room was a nice touch. This hotel was about a 10 minute walk from the train station and restaurants . The courtyard was very nice and had heaters by the table to stay warm while we played cards.

Charming pub with rooms. Nice bar area with outside courtyard area and good drinks range (and lovely glassware!) . Very friendly staff and rooms very well appointed with clever use of space, However didn’t sleep well as the room was way too hot and the pillows are not great. Would stay again though as the good outweighed the bad.
