Bedroom was right near a busy road, windows had to be closed thus making the room hot and stuffy even with a fan. Bathroom was a little tired and the toilet didnt flush well plus shower base didnt flow away so flooded floor. Bed was missing a foot so we felt like our legs were higher than ourheads

Good place to stay but needs a clean

The check-in was great on arrival with plenty of info from Courtney. The food in the pub was also good with no complaints. The room I stayed in needs a good deep clean both in the bedroom and bathroom. You could also hear every noise from people walking past your room with the floors creaking and doors shutting which made for a terrible nights sleep.
