Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Cleanliness on some of the rooms were disappointing and carpets and wall were tired needing replaced, fixed or redecorated. Light fittings in room 4 in the bathroom is so high and unclear where to find it. Windows stuck in rooms.

Well worth the visit
Great, quirky rooms above a pub. Very friendly and helpful staff. Just a one night stay but it was good and we'd definitely return. Breakfast was really good in terms of both options and what arrived from the kitchen.
