Clean room, but rusty shower rail and damaged blinds in bedroom, but overall good value for the money. Good pub with excellent food. Another oub where you would get a discount for being a menber but only staying for a couple of nights its not worth the hassle. Plenty of parking at the rear.

We stayed for one night and can’t complain at all. Our room with en-suite was clean with crisp linen. Bathroom and shower is huge and spotless. The shared kitchen has everything you need. Food and drinks is available at the bistro area, very handy.

There are very basic amenities, no wifi, no hand towels, or lift. Towels were not fresh and had an odour. The whole place is run down, eerie and neglected. Staff are very nice though.
