Would stay again
Pros:

Breakfast was great. Location means you could park up for the weekend and not need to move, which was good as the carpark was full and cars needed to be moved to let us out to leave.

Cons:

Cobwebs in the light fitting and shower room was small.

Charming pub and accommodation for a relaxing break
Pros:

We ate dinner and breakfast both very good with good portions freshly cooked and hot. The service at meal times was excellent. We had a king size bed and room was larger than usual as was the delightful bathroom. Low ceilings but that added to the charm of the period property. Easy walk to main high street and attractions whilst being in a quieter part of town. Would absolutely stay again and recommend.

Cons:

If you have mobility issues you may struggle with the stairs but it didn’t bother us.
