The staff were helpful and accommodating and the breakfast was really good, especially for my wife who has dietary challenges. The only downside for us was the tight and twisty stairs to the 2nd floor room when carrying luggage, but then we are in our 70's. Would stay again.

Fine so long as you have the evening out

The room was so poorly sound insulated from the pub, that it was almost like having a bed in the bar.

Really impressed.

Excellent place to stay. Refurbished rooms, very comfortable and well done. Food excellent and most importantly the staff couldn't do more to help. They were outstanding. One word of warning-if you park in the car park, expect the local birdlife to leave you numerous mementoes of your visit.

Great room - fantastic breakfast!

We had a great one night stay at the Bosun's Chair. Welcomed warmly on arrival and the room was really beautifully decorated and comfy and cozy at the same time. Nice size bathroom and lovely welcome touches of biscuits and water. And I would go there just for breakfast - the breakfast was top notch. Good options and wonderfully cooked. Would definitely stay again

Great stay

Really lovely newly refurbished room. Great comfy bed and huge bathroom. All the staff were absolutely lovely and friendly and the breakfast was probably one of the nicest we've had. Will definitely return.
