Lovely hosts but noisy room above where beer was delivered very early in the morning! Couldn’t understand why we wern’t in a quieter room on the other side of the pub as there were empty rooms? Very kind chef made us a packed breakfast thank you.

Family break away
Everything about our stay was perfect. We had a cot ready when we arrived for our little one. The room was warm and spacious. We ate dinner the night before and the steaks were wonderful. The staff are all so friendly and can't do enough to help. We had a delicious breakfast before we left too!

Nice place but a bit tired
This is still a nice place to stay, however it's starting to look a little bit tired. The carpets could do with a really good clean and the window in our bedroom didn't shut properly which would have been okay in summer but it was very cold. Breakfast was very good and the bar is comfortable.

Clean, spacious and nicely decorated room. The Railway is excellent if you are using public transport as it is 10 minutes from the train station and 5 minutes to the bus station and town. The breakfast was very good and freshly cooked to order

This was an older property above a kitchen and attached restaurant. The property was nice but there were some smells from the kitchen that permeated the room. The food was excellent.

Check in was quick & very professional. The carpet leading to the rooms and in the rooms is very tired and dirty. The room was a really good size with a beautiful clean bed. Bathroom is also a good size. Breakfast was cooked to order. Yoghurt & fruit would be a good choice too.
