the room was tidy.
Check-in was quite late. A message came just 40 minutes before my expected arrival to say it was pushed back to 6:15 pm, when the pub opened. that didn't leave much time to adjust my plans. breakfast was also not great, just a packet of cheap croissants and some small juice cartons, the mattress was too soft.

Charming Community Pub Stay

mountain bike trailsgood foodgreat valuefriendly staff
The mountain bike trails near the hotel are convenient. I found many options for walking too. Pub food is of good quality and offers excellent value. The staff presented themselves as very amiable.
The shower temperature wasn't consistent. The water fluctuated between hot and cold. This made showering uncomfortable.
