expensive drinksconfusing layout
The drinks were expensive, nearly ten POUNDS for a pint and a half. The food prices felt extortionate considering the basic bar meals offered. The layout of the restaurant was confusing. Small tables were scarce. We booked for two but sat at a HUGE table.

friendly staffgood dinnercold roomloud music
The staff was really friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. The dinner was good. I got the homemade pie, and it was really tasty. I also like the good range of real ales they had.
The room was cold when I arrived. It took a while to warm up even when the pub turned the heat on. I also did not sleep well because loud music from the pub was played. Someone was making noise below my room until early morning.
