Decent stay

good locationstreet parkingsuper saladmusty bathroompub gardenroom temperature
The location was really good. I found parking on the street without problems. All meals were EXCELLENT. I ate at the restaurant every evening. Dinner was delicious. I had very good fish and chips. I did not want chips, and they substituted a super salad!
The bathroom smelled musty. I stayed in Room 2. It overlooked the pub garden. It was noisy until 1030. I wanted the window open, but I closed it because of the noise. The room was also very hot.
