“The location, just off the main road, makes it an ideal stop for those on the move, especially van drivers who will appreciate the unrestricted parking. Inside, the building whispers history, with charming hosts adding a personal touch.

mixed experience due to noise and cleanliness

convenient locationplastic smellsash windows

the location was convenient since it was close to the motorway.

I found the noise unbearable. The old sash windows rattled. trains passed on one side and the motorway was on the other. the cleanliness was a problem, the kettle smelled strongly of plastic, so i couldn't make a decent cup of tea.
