All staff were friendly and helpful. Bar was pleasant and comfortable to enjoy a drink. We did not eat there but everyone there seemed to enjoy what they had. Perfect location for overnight stay for early flight. Room was comfortable and quiet. The only downside was the toilet cistern was difficult to operate. Would definitely stay there again. Good, free public parking behind the pub

Spacious room which was well appointed and with a comfortable bed. Service of breakfast was slow but the food, which we also experienced for a lunch and a dinner, was consistently good. Service was good for both lunch and dinner. The garden was a really pleasant place for lunch. Staff generally very pleasant and helpful.

Absolutely lovely place - bedroom was great - clean and had everything you would need at an amazing price. Cannot complain about the room at all. Only had a little niggle with the food as one of our meals wasn’t great but the other fine! Staff were lovely but busy.

Room was lovely, bathroom excellantly appointed. My only issue was that I like fresh air in the room and with the secondary glazing, window locks and windows painted shut it was an uncomfortably warm night.

There was a nice welcome as we arrived. We had booked dinner for a later time but was able to be seated early. The food was very good with a good choice in the menu. The room was large and had all the required facilities.
