Rooms are absolutely gorgeous, beds are comfy and the TVs are massive. Pubs great staff are lovely and the breakfast is fantastic. And they provide earplugs with the room too as its right over the pub and opposite the train station so no noise disturbances.

Everything was new and the accommodation was fantastic. Everywhere was very clean, and the pub was friendly and spotlessly maintained. It’s an ideal place to stay when working in the area. I will definitely stay again next time I’m in the area.

A new level of pub hotel

We were really impressed by both the rooms and the pub itself. Beautifully renovated to create a comfortable and memorable stay. Emilia, Paul, and the team couldn’t have been more welcoming. Live music (earplugs provided). Across the road from the station (live train times in pub). Even thoughtful enough to have a cooking room with oven, hob and fridge etc for guests. Would definitely stay again.
