Comfortable Stay

warm welcometasty foodconvenient locationgood breakfast
The staff provided a warm welcome. The food in the pub was very tasty and reasonably priced. The location was convenient for visiting family nearby and the room provided was clean. Breakfast was good with nice scrambled eggs and excellent coffee.
The water pressure in the shower could have been slightly better.
