10/10 Exceptional

Suited us perfectly. Centrally situated. Staff most helpful and great to deal with. Kitchen to make tea/coffee was good. Only downside it is a joint bathroom and toilet, but is still most convenient as close to bedrooms.

Night away

The pub was lovely but the room was right across from the other pub and above the bar! Too noisy for a decent nights sleep.
