I was only booked in for one night. Young man who booked me in was very friendly and assisted me with taking my suitcases up stairs as unfortunately there is no lift. The stairs are rather narrow. The room was very spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable. Food from restaurant was good and fairly reasonable. Unfortunately I didn’t get breakfast which is included as I had an early train to catch.

Friendly hotel with lovely food

Lovely hotel/pub, very friendly staff and food was delicious. The boutique bedrooms were a bit dated with the black painted headboard and footboard which i constantly banged my knee on when walking around the bed as it stuck out so much and the mattress was a little soft for my liking, felt like I was rolling into the middle.

Warm and friendly with great food and service.

I was on business and don't really like the clinical nature of premier inn ect. I have stayed here before and love the traditional atmosphere and as it is a kind of gastro pub, the food, including the breakfast is really nice.

Noisy!

Stayed on a Saturday evening. After travelling and a long day I was looking forward to a rest. The room was clean but no remote for the tv and the toilet seat was broken. I spoke to the staff and nothing materialised to sort either. Also there was entertainment which I wasn’t aware of so it was very noisy, especially as I was directly above them. I wouldn’t have stayed if I had been informed of this. Luckily it did finish at 10.00p.m. On the good side the evening meal I purchased and the breakfast which was included were very nice.
