The Steamer Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was lovely & clean, nice carpet and curtains, the balcony was very nice to have a cuppa in the morning sunshine . The bathroom had a lovely large powerful shower with lots of hot water. The bathroom was in need of some updating, looked more like a NHS bathroom (clinical) but functional.. You can decide every day if you want your room serviced, so that’s a nice touch and nothing was too much trouble either. Breakfast is served between 8.30 - 9.30. Offering a cooked breakfast in small or large. Sausage or bacon sandwich on brown or white bread. Tea cakes, croissants or toast with jam, marmalade or Marmite. Large glass of orange or apple juice and plenty of tea and filter coffee. You can only choose one item from the menu. The meals in pub are very filling with lots of choices. They will always make sure you have a table if you are staying with them and would like to eat there. They do not have a lift so rooms are accessed by stairs only. We had a three night break away and enjoyed our stay."
