I stayed in Room 2. Nice supply of toiletries, biscuits, t-bags and coffee. Strangest thing - no shower curtain or screen, and no hook for the showerhead, so water went everywhere. Can't believe this issue hasn't been mentioned previously. Only need to put up a pressure rod with shower curtain to stop this happening. Had Bubble & Squeak with bacon & egg for dinner. I felt the B&S was too large and not crispy but otherwise it was hot and the mustard sauce tasty. Can't comment on breakfast as I left before service started.

The room was clean and tidy, decorated in a nice style. Staff top drawer, helpful and friendly. Food was very good, the pie was perfect. The only thing that would improve it would be a free standing shower or over bath shower. That's a preference not a criticism.

This is a lovely pub the staff very welcoming and a warm homely atmosphere. We had an evening meal which was nice, then an absolutely lovely breakfast. The room itself was ok I didn't sleep too well as the mattress was rock hard and so were the pillows so I woke up with a bad back. Also there was no shower which was very disappointing I don't like having to take a bath where hundreds of people have been
