Excellent Stay, Clean Room and Tasty Breakfast

clean roomample parkinggreat bartasty breakfast

The room was very clean. It was nicely presented. The location is perfect. It is close to ample parking and right on the high street. The bar was great and the food was lovely. The breakfast had plenty of choice and was cooked to order. It was very tasty.

The welcome I received felt perfunctory at best. I arrived early, but an early check-in wasn't available.

Service

Adequate Stay Above a Lively Pub

village centregreat locationfriendly staffgood foodsmall showerblack moldfly problem

The location was convenient since it was in the village centre. The staff were friendly enough. I found the pub had some character, it felt traditional. The food I ordered tasted good.

The bathroom did not meet my standards. The shower felt too small. I also noticed black mold around the shower tray, that was disappointing. Flies were a real issue, bothering me even while I was eating.
