Solid Stay in a Central Location
cereal bargood servicecomfortable bedthin curtains
The breakfast included a Full English option. I also saw a cereal bar. Staff provided good service. The room was clean and recently renovated. It had a comfortable bed.
The curtains in the bedroom were thin. We got dazzled at 4 am. I waited 30 mins before my dinner order was taken? And another 30 mins for food.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. Location was great for my needs.
My room was quite noisy into the early hours. It disrupted my sleep. I missed breakfast, and there was no offer of anything to eat. I was hungry. It was disappointing.

i appreciated the excellent full english breakfast. service proved excellent as well, and the staff were consistently friendly. the room was spacious, and the pub enjoys a central town location with a sunny terrace available.
the curtains in the bedroom were noticeably thin. this resulted in considerable light intrusion very early in the morning, which affected sleep quality .
