“This is a classic pub with rooms, seemingly comfortable, though the dining experience appears inconsistent; my fish and chips, however, were reportedly excellent. Based on what I've gathered, and despite some possible seating quirks, it's a worthy spot for a second visit, suggesting solid value.”

Mixed Feelings About This Stay

effective light blockingdisruptive noise

The room was large, with blinds that effectively blocked light from the outside dining area.

I found the noise quite disruptive. People were celebrating late into the night and loud cars raced by, significantly impacting my sleep quality. The bed mattress also felt too soft.
