Very nice on the whole but facilities require attention. Very old building with lovely atmosphere. Dogs made very welcome. Interesting menu in the inn, had lovely spicy samosas then a naanza, which is a combination naan and pizza with a choice of toppings.

Good value stay in historic pub
Nice historic old pub near centre of town. The room was very spacious with a massive bathroom. However, I found the bed far too soft for me and uncomfortable. Breakfast was good. Overall reasonable value.

Be careful what you book
Booked a family room from the images did not get either of the pictures room was a tiny shower which was not a relaxing experience. Spoke to the person that booked me in and they responded by saying that the hotel was fully booked so no alternative. Complained to the manager through hotel . Com and they responded by saying that the pictures are random and it was unfortunate that I got that room and if I was to visit again to ring them first to see if a different room was available! No thank you not a good experience and I don’t like to complain but when you expect something like a picture it’s disappointing when you get something far less than expected

In need of a refresh
It is a very old building so obviously the stairs are narrow and steep which would be difficult for some people. The fixtures are very tired. Whilst the bedding was spotless the heater in the room was covered in thick dust and I was scared to use it in case it caught fire.
