Did the job, ticked the boxes, would stay again.
Pros:

Stayed here as a stop over driving down South. Felt safe as a single mum with 3 kids. Nice pub. Comfortable. Great petrol station over the road with some cool food options. Close to village with food and shopping options. Used the Co-op and Big Papas pizza.

Cons:

An alarm went off overnight, The Pub? If not then nothing they could do about it, but was a bit annoying as it woke us up. But could have been from surrounding area. I did ask reception for replacement bedding as we had a spill, none arrived, but not the end of the world and didn't chase up. Had to Google how to get the universal remote control to work, instructions would have been helpful!
