"Room was average, could do with updating but had most things you need! Room was clean and staff were nice. No bedside tables or sockets near the bed but we managed. Rooms could do with updating as a little tatty but good for price. Only issue the window did not shut properly so was a draught"

The King and Queen

8/10 Good

"Room was lovely and clean, the staff were all great There was allocated parking for the room but unfortunately for the first 2 days someone else decided to use it. The kitchen was closed in the pub on Sunday and Monday evening so I had to find alternative food but when the kitchen was open the food was lovely. On Saturday evening that had a steak night and the fillet steak I had was one of the best steaks I have ever eaten and it was cooked to perfection. Overall a very good place to stay."
