Comfortable bed in the tiniest of rooms. The shower is literally in the room. Make sure that you are well acquainted with your room buddy. Decent breakfast and friendly staff. Although I left behind my phone charger and it wasn't handed in.

Bad to worse. Go elsewhere if you want a break!

Travelled here for a single night break away. The room was not ready when we arrived at 3:30pm so we had to wait in the bar - we weren’t offered an apology or a complimentary drink whilst we waited. Room itself was small with a double bed pushed against a wall, a single chair and a wooden box instead of a table. The pipes to the radiator hummed so loudly you couldn’t shut the noise out and people thundered up and down the metal steps outside of the door. Being a pub you’d expect to be able to get an evening meal, you’d be wrong. We arrived before service started to be told the wait was an hour, so we waited. Then we progressed in to the restaurant where we waited over another hour without even having an order taken - we were ignored as soon as we were seated along with 2 other tables. After over 2 hours combined waiting, we gave up and returned to our room, unable to travel to get food elsewhere due to having had a drink. We were so Hangry that we checked out by 10pm and drove home as soon as we were able, stopping for McDonalds on the way and finally getting home at 1am. Utter waste of time and money, and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone, ever.
