Nice old pub in town, good sized room with fridge, in separate block at the rear. Landlord very helpful and pleasant, happy to let us leave the car in the car park for the morning whilst we explored after checking out. Would happily stay again.

Couple of nights for a couple.

Booked at the last minute and was unsure what to expect. Was pleasantly surprised, the room was clean, nice bed and huge bathroom (actually a wetroom). Pub was great too!
