Nice pub, great food
Pros:

It’s location and the food was very good

Cons:

You need to be aware this is a pub with rooms not a hotel, as such the room doesn’t have the usual facilities, tv, fridge. Checking in can be complicated if you want to arrive before the pub opens, having said that we were given details on how to gain access and as it happened we were later than we initially informed them and someone was there to sort us out

Pros:

Wonderful staff, nice pub in a cool location and quiet of a night with off street parking. Only issue was they were having problems with bad smalls in the room which they tried hard to deal with. It was from the shower run away. I would have rated this higher but the shower pressure was a trickle and just not up to std. Great shower but absolutely no pressure in the water which really needs looking at by the owners. Room was excellent with tea and coffee plus they gave us fresh milk. If the water pressure gets sorted I would stay here agian.

It was ok but I understand the decision the owner has taken to not have staff between 3-6pm
Pros:

It was ok

Cons:

It would have been great if a member of staff had been there to greet us rather than an email to tell us how to get in to the property as there was no sign of life when we arrived. We subsequently found out that the food and drink was actually good there so I was told. But as no staff there we went somewhere else and spent £75 there.
