5/5 Excellent

"The room is lovely and set back slightly in separate buildings away from the pub so you don’t get the pub noise but it’s really close to get to. Its easy to find and plenty of free parking. On the basic side but that is reflected in the price. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Super dog friendly which is always nice. Good food in the pub as well."
