It was ok and that’s about it, staff not overly friendly except the older lady on breakfast duty at end of stay. Food was pretty average, we chose to eat elsewhere after first meal. Breakfast was large and plentiful but cooked option was a bit greasy and couldn’t eat all of it. Room was large, old and tired and in need of an update.

Used to go there 20 years ago for food when staying at a local b&b and it’s even lovelier now than it was then. The room was lovely and had everything that we needed. The food was lovely too (both in the evening and breakfast). All the staff and locals were really friendly too. Will definitely be going back.

The room was clean and and warm, the bed was comfortable, and there was plenty of hot water for showers and washing with towels supplied there was plenty of tea and coffee for two. The staff were all very friendly with ample parking. Food was served in the bar from a varied menu and the selections of beers would suit any amount of tastes. Great selections for breakfast the cooked breakfast was excellent and set me up for the day.

Very happy despite a wee booking glitch!
After a slight mishap with our room allocation, the staff went above and beyond to rectify, calmly and professionally, resulting in a win-win situation. Lovely old pub with rooms, good food and great atmosphere.
