Friendly welcome, dog friendly, food acceptable but not outstanding, nice walks behind pub, bit noisy at night on road.
Pros:

Friendly staff, especially the young man when we arrived. Comfortable bed, easy access to channel tunnel.

Cons:

We were in a dog friendly room (Granby) which we appreciated. But the ‘bathroom’ was split: loo at the back of the room, bath up steps next to coffee machine, wash basins in the middle of the room next to bed. Very inconvenient.
