Great place to stay

Amazing pub and accommodation, friendly and clean, just felt a little uncomfortable hauling luggage through people eating at tables. However, such warmth and friendliness from start to finish and every person we met is invested in the comfort and experience of their guest's

Very nice place great location. Staff very attentive and friendly. Food was excellent lots of choice including breakfast options. Room was spacious but think it maybe a little warm in summer months as no air conditioning. Overall stay excellent will definitely return and recommend to friends
