The staff were friendly and helpful. The pub was a short walk from shops and cafes. Staff called us a taxi. Breakfast was great with a proper full English breakfast.
I found hair in the shower. The bed was small and uncomfortable. I had a bad night's sleep because of constant flickering lights from the temperature control panel and smoke alarm.
