Disappointing!!
Pros:

The scrabbled egg was ok!!

Cons:

When we arrived, there was only 5 parking spaces allocated to the hotel & they were taken up by customers having a Saturday night out, not residence. So we went to park 100 yards up the street, not ideal when it’s pouring down with rain.
The bedroom was above the bar & was very noisy till 11.30pm & after that on the street. The bedroom is on the Main Street & every vehicle that drives past makes the room vibrate.
The breakfasts offer a good choice, but very disappointed to have to pay extra for a cup of tea!!

Pros:

Room was reasonably well equipped and modern

Cons:

Road noise, being made to feel like I was putting them out by checking in at 9pm, so made my way there earlier. Pub was closed which was a shame and then my wife was bitten when leaving by a dog belonging to one of the owners. Keep those away from customers.
