Proper Pub Stay

friendly locals nice pub standard meals

The location had eateries nearby. The building and pub itself was nice. Locals were friendly to me. The meals had were of a good standard.

The room was shabby, with dampness and peeling wallpaper. The quilt wasn't big enough for the very creaky bed.
