All still a bit strange in this COVID era. The staff do their best though. Like many old coaching inns they are difficult to maintain and some refurbishment is required. The bathroom of room 14 is in need of a refit. Dinner was excellent. Breakfast was disappointing (no self service because of covid)

Great location but the property is a little tired, I wasn’t happy with our allocated room so we had to swap rooms, whilst this was inconvenient it was handled well by the staff.
