Excellent service and comfortable rooms

quiet restaurantexcellent foodfriendly staff
The function room was fine for the wake as i attended a funeral locally. the staff were kind and helpful, and the food provided was very good. dinner in the evening was in a quiet restaurant with a new specials menu. I thought the food was once again very good and i enjoyed it. breakfast was also good (especially the coffee).
the exterior woodwork seems a bit weathered, though this did not impact my stay.

underwhelming stay due to noise and beer selection

useful additionpoor beer selectionminimal fruit
the proximity to the nearby country park was a useful addition to the stay because i was travelling with my dog.
At my visit, there was no beer on a pump which i found disappointing. there were lager with foreign brands and no bitter or ales on draught. This isnt what i was expecting. the breakfast was also lacking. There were no bananas and the soft fruit was minimal in quantity.

The function room worked fine for a wake I attended. Staff were kind and helpful throughout the event. Dinner was enjoyable due to a new specials menu in a quiet restaurant. The service from the staff was friendly and efficient.

The hotel is located by a main road so it's easy to find. While convenient, this placement provides little prospect of going for a walk. Despite this, the location suited my needs for a quick stop.
