Good comfortable stay, would use again.

Staff all excellent. Rooms clean and comfortable. Heating too hot and uncontrollable, eg no thermostatic valves. Bedroom corridor doors need silent closing. Breakfast good, evening meal adequate as limited menu and poor quality burgers. Plenty of character and bar busy.

I stayed here with my husband after a wedding. The parking was convenient and well sign posted. Staff were all amazingly friendly and polite. Everyone was very helpful. The room was clean, and well stocked. The bottles of water by the bed were a lovely touch. Shower was easy to use and had decent water pressure. Breakfast was lovely, and there were plenty of options for all dietary requirements (the vegan sausages were very nice!) Check out was a breeze. Other all, really pleasant stay, and would highly recommend.

Comfortable room but bring a head torch

Nice big room which was pretty warm and comfortable but it was soooooo dark. There were several 5 amp sockets but scarcely any lamps and no wall or ceiling lights except one round the corner near the bathroom. We had one dim standard lamp with a black shade and two small bedside lamps and that was it! The bulb went in one on the second night. This is something that could be so easily dealt with. You need two or three more lamps with bright bulbs. The shower is also pretty dire. More of a mist really but this seems to be the case in the other rooms too. The pub itself looked warm and cosy with a great fire and vibrant atmosphere though we didn’t eat or drink there. It was full on both Friday and Saturday nights.
