Brilliant accommodation, food and service.
Pros:

Brilliant place, tastefully decorated with friendly & efficient staff. Food was exceptional and reasonably priced. Good selection of beers, wines & spirits. Lovely beer garden at the rear. The room (Lavender) was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Fabulous bath & shower with free toiletries. Within walking distance of the castle. Would highly recommend.

Cons:

It was quite noisy the first night (Friday) we ate there as it was very busy (which is a good thing) and the locals, who were not eating, seemed quite vocal. Obviously not something that the landlord could do anything about and it did not stop us enjoying the delicious food.

The staff were extremely helpful, the bed was comfortable, dinner was well cooked and hot. Our breakfast was very good. The staff were again very kind, carrying our suitcases down for us, and even offering to take them to the car. A very enjoyable stay.

Wonderful 2 night stop by over.
Pros:

Great 2 night stay. Free Parking at the back. Bedroom was on top floor with tricky staircase but beautifully decorated and had everything that I needed. I left early both mornings but still went out with a homemade bacon buttie! The tapas for dinner was delicious & there’s a lovely courtyard outside to eat / drink. I was very well looked after and will definitely come back.
