Really good Stay
spacious room locally sourced food thick bread
The check-in was quick since I had checked in online beforehand. The room was quite spacious, complete with a lot of wardrobe space. I enjoyed a delicious evening meal in the pub, and the locally sourced food stood out. Breakfast included a mega bacon sandwich. The bread was very thick and lightly toasted.
The room had shutters for the window. It really needs a blackout blind. The room was far too bright, and I hardly slept.
