fresh milk extensive menu
my room was a superior king room it was very spacious with a desk i appreciated the fresh milk provided i found a little courtyard area just outside perfect.
the breakfast took longer than expected despite few people there i felt the delay was because the staff was still having their own breakfast before starting service.

frozen chips basic pub food
i stayed here for a few nights and the food was a letdown. i hoped for local produce but the balti tasted nothing like it should (and i know my baltis!). the chicken leek pie had frozen carrots and beans. the chips tasted like they came straight from the freezer (a bit sad, really).

dog smell unsympathetic owner
the breakfast had a good choice and great service.
the king room had a very apparent smell of dogs. the shower produced only a dribble making it impossible to shower properly. i also had a problem with a declined transaction, and the owners were unsympathetic.
