We had a nice pleasant stay. The twin room was very spacious and well circulated. The check-in process was very easy and the man helping us was very nice and offered to carry bags. We had some problems with the TV and shower but these were quickly rectified by the kind man.

The room was beautiful!! It’s recently been done apparently, and there was a lovely hamper and fridge with food and drinks included. The only issue was the shower wasn’t amazing and was hard to get to the right temperature. Otherwise staff super lovely to and great pub! Highley recommend - Lauren
