"Friendly, comfortable, lovely location."

9.0

Warm welcome, bedroom really big, location 5 mins from main town.

It’s a shame breakfast isn’t on offer, we definitely would have had this. Getting to the entrance of the bedrooms via the entrance to the pub toilets was a shame as the smell was horrendous.

"We enjoyed the full in english pub experience with a full flow of bar loving clients as well as good food."

7.0

It was next to a river with close access to the High Street. The age if the property.

The smell of urine as you walked through and ip ti the rooms. The lack of welcoming staff for the lodging guests.
