Pros:

My room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

The outside metal staircase leading to the bedrooms. 24 steep stairs. Luckily I’m a reasonably fit 83 year old but I know many of my friends would have really struggled.

High Quality Overnight Stay
Pros:

Very modern, tasteful and comfortable rooms above a lovely pub. Exceptionally comfortable beds, spotlessly clean room and a powerful top notch shower. Along with a fridge on the room's communal landing containing fresh milk and lots of bottled water plus allocated parking for each room this was a high quality overnight stay.
The pub downstairs served some lovely well kept ale amongst a wide range of drinks and good traditional pub grub. Next morning the breakfast was cooked to order and was excellent with generous portions.

Excellent stay, the owner said they were having problems with the WiFi, otherwise it was good.
Pros:

Overall it was a good experience, only thing letting it down was the WiFi in the room wasnt working, food & drink selection was very good, good choice at breakfast too.
