8/10 Very good
Aug 28, 2025
Couple of nights for a couple.
Booked at the last minute and was unsure what to expect. Was pleasantly surprised, the room was clean, nice bed and huge bathroom (actually a wetroom). Pub was great too!

We liked the easy way to get into town and all the amenities
We weren’t impressed with the garden cleanliness and all needed a bit of clean and TLC
