Midweek stay that's good value for the area. Cosy warm bedroom with ensuite bathroom (bath with tap level showerhead). Great night's sleep in comfortable bed. Stay included an excellent cooked breakfast. I opted for poached eggs on toast with mushrooms and beans. Also ate in the restaurant for dinner and had a very tasty freshly cooked Hunters Chicken (see picture) Handy for the Whittleford Parkway train station.
Hunters Chicken in the restaurant. Delicious!

4/10 Fair

On arrival at 5pm we were informed that the pub bar was closing at 5.30pm even though the information sheet in the room stated 7pm. We were also told there wasn’t any food available again despite no details explaining that on the website when we booked. We asked where we could get food as we had travelled a long way and were told by the young lady there might be a pub up the road or takeaways in the next village. We would definitely not have booked this accommodation if we’d known the bar would be shut and no food was available. On walking back to our car we noticed that the hotel opposite was open and indeed serving food, strange that the young lady didn’t mention this.
