The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and well suited to our short stay. The bed was a double, which was adequate for us, although some travellers may prefer a larger...

Only stayed one night and left early so missed the included breakfast. Staff arranged at to go breakfast pack which was appreciated.
Beds comfy. Rooms were small but that was to be expected
We stayed a Sunday night and unfortunately the pub closed at 6pm. Had to go to a nearly pub for dinner.
