Beng so close the the arena up the road it is very convenient. I had the a single room which, for the price, is fine. It is clean, comfortable, with all the basic necessities. Breakfast was delicious and there is a varied menu for evening meals.

The Inn dates back to the 1600's, the owner who's been there about 22 years was lovely and his food was delicious. The rooms were clean and tidy although the bathroom was a little jaded but it suited us perfectly and we would go back
