“This is an old pub, full of character and offering recently refurbished accommodation; I appreciate its blend of original features and modern comfort. Its location, near parks and local markets, plus the family-friendly vibe make it an affordable and versatile choice. The on-site bistro, with its local cuisine, is also a big win.”
