Definitely worth a visit!

From the moment arrived, the staff were really pleasant & helpful. Lovely big room. Beautiful bathroom. Bed a bit hard (but that’s cos I like a soft bed). The food was fabulous. I never seen a pub so busy on a Monday night (especially the week before payday)! Breakfast was lovely. Definitely recommend.

We love the location of this hotel. Nice and quiet though a little crazy for traffic & parking at busy times. Also the bar closed far too early at the weekend! Rooms are very spacious clean & comfortable. Breakfast is good though you have to pay extra for this. We would definitely visit again.

Great stay would recommend.

The room was clean and comfortable. Can not fault the accommodation. The restaurant was clean and well kept. Breakfast was nice but I felt a whole mushroom and piece of black pudding could have been served rather than half of each. Especially for the price.
