Reasonable stay

excellent food friendly staff quiet location round mirror broken clock green light
The food tasted very good. Staff members were friendly and helpful . The location was quiet, and the traditional pub setting suited me.
My room had a peculiar large round mirror (I found it rather odd). There was also a clock that did not work at all. I noticed a green light above the door all night and it lit up the bedroom.
