No Parking on site. No help with luggage up stairs,rooms accessible via door marked toilets at back of bar.Had to leave a £50 credit card deposit in case we had to use the bar,not exactly 5star!!! Room was dusty above eye level,no information booklets in room,no telephone to reception,shower did not drain well and flooded bathroom floor,loud music from bar past 11pm.If the Company regard this as five star. they are deluded beyond belief This is an average pub with a few rooms and a lack of facilities and is a bit tacky.

Lovely room, location good. However a very busy pub, full every night, which resulted in busy staff and noise from the bar until 10pm. Good to see a busy pub, but this isnt always helpful if you're early to bed!

Oldy-worldy charm in a converted attic, complete with a copper tub (separate from the bathroom). The only (minor) downside is the narrow, steep staircase to two of the rooms which might be troublesome for some people. Excellent 5-star breakfast.
