“This feels like a proper pub, the kind where the staff remembers your name and the drinks are always flowing. The rooms are simple, yet supremely comfortable; imagine sinking into a heated bed after a long day. While not in the town center, their friendly courtesy van makes you feel like you are always where you need to be.”
