Staff were lovely! Such a warm group

It has nice character but the flip side is the rooms are a little old.

"Nice place, fantastic staff."

8.0

The hotel block behind the pub itself was well laid out and easily accessible. Our room was larger than I was expecting, and was neat and tidy. The bathroom was clean, but could do with an upgrade. The food in the pub itself was excellent and very reasonable in price.

On our first night there was an issue with the water in our room. The cold supply kept cutting out and it caused an issue with the shower in particular. I will say that the staff members went above and beyond to try to sort it out, and were very apologetic about the problem. It was all sorted out by the time we returned the following day.
