Satisfactory Stay

clean room soap dispenser tea provision great 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 .

the bed frame was broken! as you can see on the photo the frame is falling apart at the joints, when you sit on the mattress the whole bed collapses and sinks to the floor on one side.
