Apart from the age of the premises there appears to be none or very little upkeep of the rooms and property in general. The website advertises a Dining Room. Whe I asked for directions I was advised that they had Not re opened the Dining Room since COVID. After driving all day the last thing I wanted to do was drive to the “cheap pub dow the road” which I was advised to try. Will not return to this place. They really need to change the website as they are falsely advertising.
