Good home cooking but reasonable pub hotel. Really good home cooked food at a good price too but hotel side of the pub was a little expensive considering breakfast wasnt included but it was comfortable and clean and nice for me personally to have memory foam pillows instead of feather filled ones.

A lovely stop over Our room was beautiful. It had a king size bed and the en-suite bathroom was a good size. The only downside was that the toilet flush handle was broken but still worked. It could have done with better lighting in the bathroom as you couldn’t see in the mirror very well. The room was immaculately clean and had a sofa and tv with easy to connect to WiFi. Personally I struggled with comfort of the bed as I found it too soft but it was dressed with clean sheets and had extra pillows in the wardrobe. The food in the evening was very tasty, with very generous portions and the breakfast which you could order the night before was plentiful and generous portions of the full English which was served fresh. The only criticism of this was that the toast was not warm. Overall a lovely stay and would recommend it.
