The rooms was lovely. The rooms are not connected to the pub so no worries on getting a good night sleep and the parking is big

Everything was great. Lovely busy pub with lots of dogs. Had a pint before we met up at a friend's.

Stepped in dog stuff on the way to the car the next morning.

Comfortable and convenient. Very easy to let yourself in after hours as accommodation was in a separate block to main inn building. Great location - on the high street.

Everything was great !

The towels were nice.

The shower head had mould on it. There was no WiFi. No bedside lamps, only one overhead light. The bathroom fan didn’t work well enough to clear the room of condensation.
