Friendly stay in a heritage pub
Pros:

Friendly and reasonable place to atay in the area. The pub had a lively trivia evening and was popular with the locals, as well as a wide menu for food. While the room was basic it was reasonable for a location of this heritage

Cons:

The village clock is right outside, and if you are a light sleeper it may be an issue as it rings every 15 minutes all night.

I enjoyed my stay .
Pros:

The breakfast served was very good . I expected other options would have been set out and available .. as standard practice . I had to ask for juice , no cereal put out , no yoghurt available.

Cons:

As abov
I think table service for the evening meal and drinks would have been better as the bar got busier it took longer to order a meal and additional drinks
