Convenient place to stay for the night. Friendly staff in the bar directed me to my room and gave instructions for leaving in the morning. Arrived in the evening so could find on-street parking close by, then moved my car to the carpark when there were spaces. Bed was comfy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
For an overnight stay on a budget, this was fantastic. The bed was comfy, decent pillows and duvet, the sheets and towels were lovely and clean and I really liked the brand of toiletries. The hotel/pub is really big and could do with some updating, but this would needs huge investment, so I'm not surprised at overall condition, but it's functional, clean and tidy. There were two bars one for side was food/restaurant and the other drinks, darts and sport on the TV. Lots of locals, I had a great conversation with locals whilst enjoying a few pints. Very big outdoor area at the back with heaters and a very large TV with sport on. Fantastic stick of beverages, I had some spicy chicken wings and apple pie with fresh cream, both were delicious. AJ (landlord) was very welcoming. The general atmosphere was busy and enjoyable. I will definitely come back again for a stopover stay.
