The Hotel and our Stay were very good, the only problem for us was the Room was very hot and we couldn’t open the windows very wide, there was an air conditioning unit in the room but we couldn’t leave it on all night as it was too noisy and we couldn’t put the vent out of the window because as I said the windows wouldn’t open enough so we found it difficult to sleep!!

8/10 Very good

The staff was super friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was excellent and the pub pretty good as well. Location was perfect. Really charming place! The bedroom was on the small side and the bathroom very tiny with no shelves to put any of the essentials. Fine for a couple of nights for 2 people but probably not longer.
