“I think this property's location works especially well for visitors attending events at the nearby cricket ground. The convenience of on-site parking, combined with the pub setting for meals and drinks, creates a relaxed and easy atmosphere. I believe the provision of complimentary tea, coffee, and hot chocolate in the rooms is a thoughtful touch.”
