Good sized room and bathroom. Surprisingly quiet as it is on the main road. Only problem was that they have stopped serving breakfast - only brunch after 12 noon. The local cafes were OK but only offered cooked breakfast items; for yoghurt, croissants etc it had to be Tesco next door.

Breakfast was advertised on the website but upon arrival we were told that as they had only taken over the pub 2 months previously that they were currently not providing it. This was inconvenient as my husband has poor mobility
