reasonable experience overall

clean roomlovely welcomecomfy bedsmall car parksteel stepspartan room
My room was clean. The host gave a lovely welcome. beds were comfy. I think i was greeted by a lovely lady running the inn. She is called jackie, and she showed us around our room. later, i asked her and some locals about best transportation to a venue, and they all were happy to help.
The car park IS small. the first floor has outside steel steps to rooms. i didn't like that the room was spartan. I also thought it soulless. i thought it had an odour of disinfectant.

the shower was awesome. the bed was comfy, it was very quiet. the owners did some really good work.
the room smelled of mould. i had a banging headache the next morning. the blackout curtain on the glass door was full of holes, so it didn't keep out the light.

The room was clean, and i found all the essentials neatly arranged (i appreciated that a lot). the staff was friendly. They greeted me with such warmth. even though the pub was quiet, the people were very cute.
the small car park was a bit inconvenient, especially when returning later in the evening. i hope there is a plan to expand the car park in the future (that would be nice).
