Nice pub, great food, especially the vegan fish and chips. The room are really nicely furnished and comfortable. The downside for me was that you can clearly hear the people in the next room which kept me awake until 1am and again at 5am, this is not great when you have business meetings the following day, they really need to do something about the sound insulation. I wouldn't go out of my way to stay here again.

Great stay
Superb stay, loved every minute. All staff were very welcoming and helped my elderly mum. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone I know traveling that way.

Great place disappointing food
It was good but the food at dinner was disappointing. It was so refined to the point that it lacked any flavour. Plus we think it was expensive. We would stay again but not eat there. It’s in a great location.

Excellent venue and location. Room was in an annexe that was well maintained and had everything we needed.
Food and service were top quality and would highly recommend.
