A good choice for a short stay.
Pros:

Quirky old property but clean and comfortable. One extremely efficient young woman seemed to do everything. She deserves a raise! And she was very tolerant of our very late arrival.

Cons:

Nothing.

Surprisingly good.
Pros:

I was surprised by the room, it was daunting staying ontop of a pub, but it was well done, clean and more than acceptable. The road was not busy and I enjoyed my stay

Cons:

Breakfast selection was a little disappointing if i am honest. This is no reflection on the staff, the waitress was most friendly serving me and my son and did so with a smile. The selection is what let it down a little.
