Lovely room and facilities. It is above a pub so has some noise but that’s very well explained. Helpful staff Would suggest a good clean/renew sealant round shower but otherwise just what was needed.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Really enjoyed my stay here, staff in the pub downstairs are lovely, and it was a great and lively place for us to have a drink in late on. It’s probably worth mentioning that there is no parking onsite and you have to find a spot on the residential streets nearby, it wasn’t a problem for us but may be for others, especially if you have a a few bags to carry. The rooms are upstairs and you have to climb up some wooden outdoor stairs and cross a courtyard to get there which might also present issues for some. My room was spacious and clean, and I would happily stay again.

The staff and the room were absolutely lovely! The bed and ensuite bathroom were delightful after many days of travel. Provided me the much needed sleep and rest I needed to reset before the second leg of my trip around the U.K.!
