2/10 Terrible

Disappointing. On arrival to the room, there was a distinct musty smell. Not pleasant and still present after opening the windows. No WiFi in the room. Breakfast was almost non existent. For a pub/hotel that promotes its food service and quality, a couple of boxes of cereal and a few miniature pastries was not what was expected or advised. A cooked choice would be expected (and was advertised)

Staff welcoming. Breakfast excellent. Great ambience. Handy location with parking. Twin room was on the small side, shower room needs tlc., i.e. tiles on floor need regrouting and securing. Surround of shower doors could do with some attention. Overall a pleasant three nights.
