Wonderful room with fabulous access to pub over road, great evening meal and breakfast with superb service. Thank you.
Lovely room across the road from pub ,amazing bathroom one tiny complaint it was difficult to get to an electric plug only one possible to use was behind a piece of furniture which had to be pulled away from wall
The room was well presented, spacious and clean. There was a stain on the carpet but its nothing serious. The room was above the pub entrance and it slammed shut everytime it opened.
The rooms are spacious and cosy. The desk area could have done with a dust and the shower fitments were a little leaky, but mainly a great place with fine food in the bar/restaurant!
