fresh croissants large portions
The room included a tv with many channels. Breakfast had fresh croissants, AMAZING mixed slices of toast and large portions of butter!!!
The bar closed relatively early, so there was not much to do after dinner.

A pleasant stay
hot bath lovely staff standard sausages fresh paint
The room was clean and spacious. I enjoyed a lovely hot bath and shower. The staff were very cute and.
The vegan Cumberland sausage was not authentic. It was just three standard quorn sausages served with mash. The pub could really do with some investment I think. It is starting to look tired and needs a fresh coat of paint.

The staff was friendly and helpful! The breakfast tasted very good. I also appreciated the large comfortable beds, they provided a restful sleep.
The food choices felt limited, I thought! The bathroom lacked a blind, privacy could be improved. The water pressure in the shower was low, it was not very pleasant.

I enjoyed the location, with convenient parking. The room was clean and very warm. The bathroom mirror did not steam up, great.
The restaurant food quality did not meet my expectations. There were very few fresh vegetables available. Most dishes seemed to be primarily fried.
