Lovey little pub!

Pre-marathon stay

Stayed here as I was participating in the 2025 marathon. The room was lovely and the service received was very good. The road was a bit busy outside all through the night but that cannot be helped. Would definitely stay again.

A lovely quirky place to stay above a nice pub. Shared facilities but clean and of good quality. Lovely bedroom, incredibly comfy bed. Although breakfast wasn't part of it, the host left cereal, croissants and milk and yoghurt in the fridge. There was facilities to make coffee and tea too. Would happily stay again.

Room was uniquely decorated and service was friendly. Shared bathrooms were clean, the carpets were more doubtful. Mattress could use an upgrade. WiFi did not work during the length of our stay. Entrance a bit depressing.
