"Quirky rooms in an excellent location"

9.0

I really liked the rooms, I thought they had a lot of character and was very quirky. I was also relieved that there was no noise from the pub which was one of my concerns and I definitely got a good nights sleep

Shower was very low for my partner but it didn't bother me as I do like a nice hot bath.

"Excellent stay, lovely room, thank you."

9.0

Good location for us, good food and beer. Don't do breakfast but lots of nearby options and they kindly provide tea, coffee and biscuits. Despite being in a pub, the room was quiet.

Pub toilets at the bottom of the stairs have been very smelly both times we've stayed

"Stayed for a weekend and all boxes ticked"

8.0

For a converted mill, with rustic style it ticked all the boxes, maybe de-creaking the floorboards would be an idea. Oh and make sure you have your Netflicks and Prime log in details as they are available ona great TV, but you need to confirm them.

menu was a bit basic and they don't do breakfast (it is only 6 rooms though and pub based)

Lokalizacja

Słychać skrzypienie podłogi na suficie oraz głosy rozmawiających osób za ścianą. Brak suszarki do włosów.
