Room had all the usual facilities one would expect, all in working order. Restaurant serves the usual pub fayre for a reasonable price & to a fair standard. Bed was quiet hard, as were the pillows, but this is only a personal preference. Breakfast was of a good choice & variety, although a bit pricey at £10 per head. It should be noted that access to the bedrooms was by staircase only, so would be not vaiable for everybody. Overall a good overnight stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise 22 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A lovely stop over Our room was beautiful. It had a king size bed and the en-suite bathroom was a good size. The only downside was that the toilet flush handle was broken but still worked. It could have done with better lighting in the bathroom as you couldn’t see in the mirror very well. The room was immaculately clean and had a sofa and tv with easy to connect to WiFi. Personally I struggled with comfort of the bed as I found it too soft but it was dressed with clean sheets and had extra pillows in the wardrobe. The food in the evening was very tasty, with very generous portions and the breakfast which you could order the night before was plentiful and generous portions of the full English which was served fresh. The only criticism of this was that the toast was not warm. Overall a lovely stay and would recommend it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3A697263E02A8316636673A23D247E4E061C386A1734875694203.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Louise Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bradley 26 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Clean room, brilliant staff and good homemade food ##### Bradley Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### E R 31 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Service was excellent, food was great. ##### E R Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly 7 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very clean, very friendly, very comfortable and good food - what more do you need? - ##### Kimberly Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Clive 17 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good breakfast. ##### Clive Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ruth 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service Pleasant room, liked having sofa and coffee table area.
