Pros:

Nice room in keeping with the style of the pub. Comfy bed. Really quiet, Friendly staff.

Bathroom did have a damp smell, shower not great when my husband used it but okay when I used it later . ? Timing of others using at the same time hence not much water pressure.

A great room with a comfy bed in the perfect spot. Loved it
Pros:

Perfectly situated to visit everything the city centre has to offer, We had the small double but it was still a big room with a very comfy bed & fabulous shower, Loved it.

Cons:

We had to climb all the way to the top of the steap narrow stairs to get to that particular room (but it was also the cheapest so it wasnt really an issue). The Coffee machine didn't seem to work, although there were no instructions.

Pros:

Great ataff, very clean room and comfy bed with superb bathroom.

Cons:

Nothing, although the stairs up to the room make this unsuitable if you struggle to climb more than a flight.

Localització inmillorable i un fantastic Sunday Roast amb un personal molt amable.
Pros:

Habitació acollidora amb detalls cuidats. Tot hi estar situat sobre el pub, els taps facilitats permeten dormir sense patir per les veus. La oferta de la microcerveceria tan de cervesa com wn menjar son molt bones.
