Nice stay.
Nice stay. Room really nice and bed very comfortable. Could have been excellent if they were to pay attention to detail on cleaning of shower screen, mildew on windows and painting of walls.

Lovely pub, average accommodation
The staff and food at dinner were lovely. Breakfast wasn’t run at quite the same standard with a lot of mistakes and delays on orders. The room was nice, although the finer details could do with a bit more attention (dust in corners, dirty grout in bathroom). Bed nice and comfy, unfortunately we were near the road so a bit noisy but that can’t be helped. The resident cats will wake you up early whilst they’re waiting for breakfast though if the traffic doesn’t! We were charged £25 extra for our dog which is a bit steep in my opinion. We also didn’t get the dog bed/treats that we read about after and had to bring our own so not sure what that cost is for. Would definitely return for dinner, however I wouldn’t stay over again.
