Fab on a busy Pride weekend!
Really friendly at check in and throughout. Free parking a bonus. Room was great for what we needed with good facilities. Loved the fact there was a bar downstairs - very convenient for a nightcap. Not noisy at all. Room very hot (weather was extreme) and only one window to open but there was a fan. Would definitely stay again when in the area,

Comfortable family friendly
Nice family pub. It can be a bit noisy during pub open hours but my family were very comfortable and had a great nights sleep. The bar below sells nice selection of beers and the play area kept our daughter busy so we could relax.

Perfect to get your head down
Perfect accommodation for our needs. Two refurbed doubles were big and good with en suite.
The twin room was small and bathroom not en suite, should be priced a lot cheaper. No facilities for breakfast in the morning although lidl a 4 min drive
Shower was either too cold or scorching hot, description stated 3 people a room but only a 1 king size bed in the room, def need a sofa/pull out bed, staff were great at the bar, food was ok

Basic but comfortable.
Basic but comfortable. The twin beds were fine.
The separate bathroom in the twin room was dated and the shower had a lot of black mould, so I decided to go without.
The television remote control was broken.
Otherwise fine.
