Excellent Community Pub Experience

friendly staff community owned pub good host
The staff were very friendly in this traditional hotel. I found it very important that this pub is community owned and I wanted to support it. The room was clean and well appointed. I enjoyed that Rachel, the host, was friendly and went out of her way to.
I noticed our room felt a bit run down. The bathroom door was broken and I couldn't close it. The shower door slides open all the time.
