Let’s start with the location - right in the centre with parking for those that stay. The room was perfect, (this is a pub not a hotel). The manager (Wayne) and the bar / beer were just what we wanted.
Great breakfast to start the 2 hour walk.
Would we stay here again? YES

Access to the property is a problematic at present due to major road works and road closure. Parking is an issue at the property; however, there is a 24 hour long stay car park within a 10minute walk but obviously luggage has to be walked across as well.
Newly refurbished room and bathroom - clean
and simple.
Adequate breakfast freshly cooked.
Above a pub so busy.
Good staff and service

Room not bad could do with a good clean ,? Staff ok, was informed on checking in that there was no Breakfast, gave us £20 bar tab, it would have been curtisay to inform us beforehand. Might have stayed somewhere else. Cafe across road for breakfast was ok.

Check in was easy & we were shown our room & where everything was. We were asked what we wanted for breakfast & what time. The breakfast was very good & prompt including toast & either tea or coffee. The location is very central & within walking distance & has a car park which made things easier. The only downside which was beyond their control was the 17 weeks of roadworks nearby which confused the sat nav. Definitely would use again. The bed was also one of the comfiest I’ve slept in for a while.
