Fantastic Stay! Absolutely Recommended!

perfect roomclean spaceimproved service
The room was really perfect and very clean I needed nothing more. I enjoyed an evening meal. I heartily recommend it the food was excellent. I will definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone visiting this area.
The service could have been better I think improvements are needed. It is a local pub for chilling out mostly so I have to take that into account.

The bedrooms are actually in an annexe attached at the back of the pub so road noise and the bar are not an issue. The parking is also free which makes things much easier. The bar itself had an amazing English ambiance.
Service
