Great location and brilliant pub with a range of drinks and excellent pizza. The staff were also helpful and accommodating. The room was very hot and stuffy and needs a bit of a refresh - especially the bathroom.

Bottles of water were supplied in a fridge as well as a fan. Both super considerate with how hot the weather had been. Staff also looked after our luggage until late as we had a concert before we were able to check in. Everyone was super friendly and kind

Very comfy bed and pillows! Even though its above a pub that was very popular with locals it wasn't noisy. We stayed during heat wave and even though it was warm the big open windows and fan kept us cool. We stayed 4 nights. Also recommend the pizza!!

Great little B&B pub. Clean, warm and really welcoming — exactly what you want after a long day. Rooms were comfortable and well looked after, and the pizza downstairs was great. Would happily stay again.

Spotlessly clean and friendly staff. The shower head was a bit spotty and as it was a heatwave a fan of some sort in each room would be nice. But overall pretty good for the price.
