Satisfactory Stay

clean roomsoap dispensertea provisiongreat location
The room was very clean and had plenty of space. The bathroom included soap dispensers for both hand and shower use. I found tea and coffee provisions available in the room. The food was excellent and the prices were quite reasonable. The location is great, and the staff are friendly. The room I had faced the car park at the back, a quiet place once the pub closed.
The car park has a limited number of spaces, holding about six cars. It was consistently full .
