Really nice building. Food and drink prices slightly above average Chair in my room was too low to use and it had a 'shabby chic' look but was too much shabby. TV in the room not all free view channels. Service in the pub could be a bit slow for how many people were there.

Amazing night, but...

Absolutely great place, working locally, everything 5stars, only downside was a fire alarm at 4am, faulty sensors apparently, and my amazing nights sleep was cut short. Would return for everything else though, food, room, and staff all great.
