Great Place!
Our stay was wonderful, they have complementary breakfast (milk, juice. bread, cereals and yoghurt) bathrooms were slightly squishy but great pressure and hot water. Friendly staff and really accommodating.

Country pub feeling in a city pub. It was clean and quiet with off street parking and staff were great. The meal in the dining area was absolutely fantastic and well priced.

Always lovely to stay here. As a solo woman traveller, I feel quite safe and the rooms/linen/bathrooms are very clean and well maintained. I love that the old fashioned decor is maintained.

Rooms are simple and comfortable.
Shared bathrooms are obviously not modern, but extremely clean.
All in all a great place to get a simple night's sleep

Good value. Room clean, beds comfortable. Self serve breakfast is available and included in the price. Excellent bar and bistro. Live music Friday and Saturday is noisy but you're warned. That was my 3rd stay and will stay again.
