Very friendly helpful staff. Bedroom clean and spacious. Food ok.
Pros:

On site parking

Cons:

Tired and dirty carpets especially in corridors. Despite having a cocktail menu they wouldn’t make them. They claimed they didn’t have the ingredients.

We left early as we couldn’t cope with the stair situation.
Pros:

The staff were friendly and the meals were lovely. We all enjoyed our evening meals and breakfast.

Cons:

Access to our bedrooms was very difficult. We are happy to do stairs but the last third flight of stairs was very steep with narrow treads and didn’t feel safe. Had trouble opening the window. Access to parking was challenging.

Food excellent tho!
Pros:

The pub food

Cons:

The room was not set out for travellers. You don’t need a big tv where a dressing table and mirror should be. Windows were dirty and mould on wall. No plug for sink for husband to shave!

Great place in the centre of town with parking
Pros:

A great place to stay right in the centre of town with free parking. The room was comfortable and very clean. The stairs to the second floor rooms are steep, luckily I didn't have much luggage to carry up.
