Outstanding B&B, huge room.

This B&B is absolutely great. The room we had (room 4) was huge compared to other hotels we had stayed at as part of our previous 2 weeks holiday. Great little pub with a good selection of ales and food options. Breakfast was great quality as well.

Pleasant overnight stay.

Very pleasant overnight stay in Room 9, a front corner room with 2 windows overlooking the road. Had a drink in the Beer Garden before eating a well cooked meal in the restaurant. Friendly staff. Would stay again & recommend.

Room looked newly decorated, was bright clean and comfortable, traffic on the road can be noisy but we knew this when booking. Good value breakfast, restaurant staff very helpful. Convenient for town centre shops/eating options, close to lots of green space for walking along by the canal, walking distance of steam railway.

Handy but noisy location.

Room was good size and comfortable. Shower was a bit tricky to get right heat. Cooked breakfast nice. Rather noisy location by busy road. Handy for high street , steam railway and safari park.

The staff is very friendly, but it is a pub with B&B: limitations. It is a location next to the channel crossing, but for seiht seeing I would choose a different location.

Friendly staff, comfortable bed (and chosen because 3 minute walk from the event I attended). Downsides: an old building so lots of noise because floors creaked when neighbours moved about, and the plumbing was old-fashioned (took ages for hot water to reach the shower!). I was happy to stay one night (and would again) but not for a week.

Great staff. Old building so could hear people walking around as floors creaked and doors banged at unsociable hours. Probably due to people arriving and departing for Eurostar.

GOOD BUT BASIC.

Good location, rooms basic, lunchtime food good, breakfast basic but good price. Pub closes at 10pm on friday and Saturday and closes at 7pm on Sunday, can understand to cut costs but during August its a bit of a shame as we had returned from a function for a nightcap before bed and bar was closed at 9.45pm.
