Nice pub hotel.
Pros:

Next to the restaurant we were visiting, easy to get to, lots of parking, very comfortable armchair!

Cons:

Unclear policy on paying for breakfast which meant we checked out irritated, even though they cancelled the extra charge (to be clear they explained that one main course was included- I ordered toast and two poached eggs and was charged an extra £7.50 (on top of the already paid £12.50) because toast was a main course and the eggs were an extra. I think the eggs cost half that and because we were eating with guests from another room the charge for their extras was on ours too. This policy was fixed by the chain not this pub, so if you book this pub then book without breakfast, then you can pay for what you actually eat when you check out.

Pros:

Ondanks de ligging aan een druk kruispunt heerlijk geslapen, rustige ruime kamers en heel goed restaurant

Cons:

Voor gebruik van WiFi ben je verplicht om een account te nemen zonder opt-out. Dan is de consumenten bescherming binnen de EU toch stukken beter.

Pros:

Everything was great! Food was good. Staff were helpful and friendly. The garden was well kept.

Cons:

The double shower head. In our experience one or the other drip in time and it's too easy to go past the off switch on the one head and end up with a squirt of cold on the other.
