delicious beefhuge yorkshire puddingquick serviceslow urnunattentive staffpricey breakfast
I ordered a roast dinner and the beef was SCRUMPTIOUS, everything was perfect. I asked for extra gravy, and they brought it out straight away. The Yorkshire pudding was HUGE.
The breakfast at 8.30 meant I had to wait 10 minutes for the urn to warm up so I could have tea. I expected cereal, yogurt, and fruit for the money I paid. The bar staff seemed unattentive and lacked interest. Though the assistant manager and manager were nice.

i found the staff very efficient and friendly. the breakfast had very good quality and value. i easily parked on site, a convenient feature for me and my sweetheart.
the inn's location near the main road meant some traffic noise filtered through, though i quickly adjusted.

Check-in was super easy. Food was delicious and service was very quick.
The room was very small and overlooked bins. The staff seemed very young and not really interested in customers. They were just talking to their friends.
