9 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2026
The staff were very friendly, absolutely delicious food at a reasonable price, the atmosphere in the pub is great.
The only thing was the bathroom could have been cleaner, pink mould on the dispenser in the shower but it wouldn’t put me off staying again.

Delicious food, friendly staff and a lovely warm atmosphere.
Skylight in room did not work. Had a remote control but was not working and unable to close manually therefore woken early in the morning as too bright

Location
Tiny rooms, bad service. Shower overflowed. We had to remove wads of hair from drain. Smaller than normal portions at pub. Average food.
