The continental breakfast had very good value. it had more food than i expect. the room and facilities met all my needs to a high degree. leanne, the manager, bring a tray to my room. She was very accomodating.
the pub closes early. the heating struggles a bit to keep the room warm. an electric heater is available, but this made a little noise. i turned it off overnight to sleep better.
