My shower did not work, it was scorching hot I mentioned this to the lady working and they could not fix the issue. They know the issue is ongoing as they left a a4 sign piece of paper in room mentioning not to fiddle with shower as its tempermental.

Pleasant overnight stay
Pleasant overall stay. Room had all the usual facilities one would expect, all in working order. Restaurant serves the usual pub fayre for a reasonable price & to a fair standard. Bed was quiet hard, as were the pillows, but this is only a personal preference. Breakfast was of a good choice & variety, although a bit pricey at £10 per head. It should be noted that access to the bedrooms was by staircase only, so would be not vaiable for everybody. Overall a good overnight stay.
