Clean, welcoming, great staff, excellent food. Next to a noisy main road, expected a historic pub/hotel given the name but it was modern and the bathroom was cramped.

Staff were particularly helpful and pleasant not to mention very efficient. Abi was the very best example of a staff member who did everything to ake our short stay enjoyable. The shower in room 11 needs attention as does the loose toilet seat, otherwise impeccable.
