The pet friendly room we were allocated was the farthest possible from the parking area. This made it inconvenient for moving in and out though the staff were very willing to help. The main public area was welcoming and clean and the beer was good!

Excellent hotel

Found the hotel to be clean and comfortable, staff friendly, approachable and helpful. Although earl grey tea was not obviously available it was quickly supplied on request. We travelled with a dog and the room and certain areas of the hotel were pet friendly. We would definitely recommend this hotel and will return if we are in the area. Excellent value for money.
