The room was a little tired, there were a couple of issues that were off putting, it is a little strange to have no luggage rack or anywhere to put things other than the desk. There was an unusual smell it wasnt a bad smell but it wasn't good either. I hate to be negative, we reported a couple of faults and i think if we hadn't encountered them we might have had a different view of the place. The staff are lovely, Suzanne the night manager was lovely and so helpful. The chap in the restaurant who I think was the the manager was nice as well. We had lunch and it was pleasant enough and the price is similar to the rest of the area for eating and drinking.

Only stayed for a night, but would highly recommend. Very welcoming staff at the inn and adjoining tavern, which had excellent food as well. Perfect place for a quick trip or longer stay.
