Friendly welcome from Chris on check-in, ground floor room opens from a courtyard, noted overflowing ashtray of roll-ups on table outside room door. Room looked OK, warm, clean, and the beds were comfortable. However the bathroom was just plain grubby - shower screen needs some limescale spray and a deep clean round the base, long black hairs (not mine!) in shower tray, splashed and dusty chrome towel rail. Very sensitive shower control took 5+ minutes of constant running before some lukewarm water appeared, although plenty of hot water in basin tap. One decent real ale at bar, average menu and food, fair bar prices. Breakfast, (described as "continental" on the phone when I booked) took some finding as the pub was locked up and deserted. When we eventually found it (none of this had been explained to us on check-in) it turned out to be a small dresser of help-yourself items in a lobby at the foot of a stair, comprising of a clingfilmed basket of croissants, a bread bin, pots of jam, mini-packs of cereals, milk in a fridge below and - randomly - a toilet roll. I washed a croissant down with a cup of instant coffee made in my room, and left.
