great food and cozy room

double bedquality beddingoutside door
I stayed in room six. it had a double bed, a single bed. a full bathroom. the room included a kettle, a tv, a desk, and a wardrobe. the food impressed me. I enjoyed a homemade pie with mash, and my partner had one with chips.
The pub was quite noisy, and it continued very late. Also some people arrived around 3 am.

the location was great for exploring nearby attractions. the breakfast included a freshly cooked full english breakfast. i found the staff to be friendly and helpful, always ready to assist.
The pub was a bit noisy late at night. the outside door being close to my room meant i heard people coming and going. It made quite a racket! the bathroom did not have a separate shower, only a showerhead over the bath.

the room was large. the bed was really comfy. plenty of parking spaces were available. the race course was within walking distance. i found it quite convenient, actually.
i paid extra for a fireplace room and there was no fireplace. that detail was a bit of a letdown.
