The room was fine, although for some reason there weren't any hangers in the wardrobe. I was thankful for ice from the bar downstairs (it was another very hot day), and also for the quiet neighbourhood. Overall, I'd definitely stay here again.

The room was small and very hot as the window didn’t open that wide. It was very clean but a little dated. Plenty of parking and the lady behind the bar was welcoming and helpful.

Uncaring staff! Travelled several hours for a funeral, were told they would wait for me as they were about to close. Arrived, told them I was outside the property and then they hung up on me and wouldn't open the door! No compassion, just greedy!

Wow, thank you to Sue and her team, Sally, Sal and Will. What a warm welcome! We had such a lovely time with you all. A well run, friendly and warm spirited pub and B&B. The drinks were cold, and flowed easily and the food second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay. No wonder the local patrons enjoy spending their down time with you!
