Lovely accommodation - would highly recommend!
Good sized room set above a lovely pub with a great beer garden and food options for both breakfast and evening. Good location near the river to easily walk into town.

Great pleace to stay!
Nice comfortable room except from it being uncomfortably hot when I arrived. As the main window had the handle missing, a fan in the room was a huge relief. Service was friendly and the food in the pub was good.
