Comfortable family friendly

Nice family pub. It can be a bit noisy during pub open hours but my family were very comfortable and had a great nights sleep. The bar below sells nice selection of beers and the play area kept our daughter busy so we could relax.

Perfect to get your head down

Perfect accommodation for our needs. Two refurbed doubles were big and good with en suite. The twin room was small and bathroom not en suite, should be priced a lot cheaper. No facilities for breakfast in the morning although lidl a 4 min drive

Basic but comfortable.

Basic but comfortable. The twin beds were fine. The separate bathroom in the twin room was dated and the shower had a lot of black mould, so I decided to go without. The television remote control was broken. Otherwise fine.

Great tea bags and loo roll

Room ok, noisy as above bar, but that’s expected. Comfy bed, very good tea and good sized mugs and kettle. Bedroom Wi-Fi non existent. Good location for working at the hospital. Parking was ok, but hard to park on a Friday.
