Reasonable Stay Overall

crisp linenfluffy towellimited menuoily food

The room had a large bed with crisp linen. Large fluffy bath towels were also in the bathroom. The staff was lovely, and I would stay here again if working in the area.

The menu seemed somewhat limited. I thought the food was a little overpriced. The fish and chips were too oily. They were running with oil.
