Very comfy bed... clean room and nice tea tray. Shower takes a moment to get working but probably as the building is old but this gives it charm. Will definitely stay again :-)

I actually really enjoyed my stay at the Pack Horse. The staff at reception were really friendly & helpful. It was peaceful & private & clean & comfortable, although basic, reflecting the modest price. But it wasn’t the room we were shown online when we booked & no food was available - as stated on the website.

Beautifully comfortable bed and fantastic shower. Friendly welcome, good atmosphere in bar and great tapas. However, someone might like to attend to the roof of the building directly below bedroom 1, which offers unexpected views.

Lovely pub to use as a base

Friendly staff. Room very clean. Bed lovely & comfy. Could have done with a net that fitted window. No breakfast or food but we only used as a base to visit relatives so that didn’t matter. Fridge in room was good to chill drinks.

We found it homely and the hosts could not do more to make us welcome. They are in the process of refurbishing and once finished the whole place will be superb.
