Memorable
Pros:

Food is to die for.

Cons:

Bathrooms could have been cleaner but this was due to the long term residents there rather than a reflection on the staff.

Excellent value for money , very welcoming!!!!
Pros:

Yes, Dan the Manager, Kylie , all the staff and the like were very friendly, anything I asked they helped , simply brilliant service, staff had excellent attitudes and thats why all the locals go there , the friendliness of the whole place , Illustrates why most nights the car park is full and overflowing, like the booze.

Cons:

No much, I thought it was great in general. The attitude and feel of the place was very welcoming.

Des nuits très bruyantes
Pros:

Literie convenable, parking, douche chaude

Cons:

Le bruit est une catastrophe… entre les pigeons qui font du bruit toute la nuit (c’est vraiment très fort) et les gens du pub qui sont juste à côté qui font du bruit jusqu’à 2h40 (musique crie etc…) sans encadrement, vous ne dormez pas trop !
