This was a great place to stay for an overnight stop. Really great value. Bathroom was clean and functional. Beds were comfy, although a little rickety. Breakfast was basic, but decent. The staff were really lovely. The whole place could do with a bit of TLC, but for the price, it was very good.

Fun stay!

Lovely stay! We got there late and the restaurant part of the bar downstairs was closing but our kind bed and breakfast owner asked them to wait a bit and feed us. The bar was fun and had a variety of British beers. Absolutely recommend it!

TBH what I like most - and what is becoming increasingly hard to find - is reasonable accommodation for a few nights at a reasonable price, rather than so-called luxury accommodation costing the earth with facilities I don't want and won't have time to use.
