Staff were friendly, breakfasts excellent. Good atmosphere in the bar. Room needed a good dusting round the ceiling as cobwebs were hanging down.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
It is a great stopover. Rooms are above the pub. Not a problem. It is on a busy road so you do get traffic noise. Didn’t get to catch breakfast as we left early.
Nice staff.
Great location to all the amenities its just a 10 minute walk into the town either by the river or along the main road, very friendly staff and lovely clean rooms,i would definitely reccomend..
Had a comfortable enough stay here and the staff were amiable, polite and willing to assist with any requirements. I would book this location/venue again.
