Older property with a pub below. We liked our stay except for the sloping roof (ceiling) room, where we kept banging our heads.

Firstly we have stayed here before and had a wonderful experience. The property is old and consequently does not have that modern minimalistic feel to it. I think the beds could do with replacing as you can feel the springs through the mattress topper. The stairs are a challenge on par with climbing Snowden. So why did we come back? The Staff and ambience and the quality of the food and the feeling that you belong here and so welcomed. I love it. The patrons are warm and friendly and happy to chat with you. The staff are wonderful and I have to say that Ben is amazing. He sees what’s going on around corners and they all work hard. We were sorry to leave and will definitely be back.

Average over priced

Thought was a little expensive for a room above a pub . Very basic met my needs but was extremly busy and the steaks were over cooked but this was resolved but duty manager who was very helpful . Check in was not great stood in middle of bar till someone was free and then was quite a lengthy check in . 2 flights of stairs to my room . View over back kitchen area . For £99 thought abit over priced stayed better .

Nice place to stay, very peaceful.

Great stay, all the colleagues were lovely. Especially the lady behind the bar. She was superb. The manager was very understanding and really made me feel welcome during my stay.
