Renovated room was very comfortable, and bodes well for the other areas of the hotel that are still rather tired.
The room was beautiful!! It’s recently been done apparently, and there was a lovely hamper and fridge with food and drinks included. The only issue was the shower wasn’t amazing and was hard to get to the right temperature. Otherwise staff super lovely to and great pub! Highley recommend - Lauren
Room was clean and spacious, no hanging space for clothes though? And we were in room 14 which was over a very noisy bar.
