Very little to dislike or find fault with, overall very good value. The staff and food were very good. The only slight negatives were doors, the main door into the room was a little fidly to open, especially after a few drinks 😉, and the bathroom door was sticking. Would definitely stay there again when you visit that area.

A pleasant surprise

A hidden gem! Stopped here for a night on route to Cardiff for the Oasis reunion tour. Totally exceeded our expectations. It was a lovely friendly place, with nicely renovated features, tasty food and great value (Mon-Thurs 3 courses for £20). The breakfast was exceptional also. A great stay and excellent value for money
