superb getaway

warm atmospheregreat beer selectionprivate gardenguest noise
the location was excellent with easy access to nearby attractions. i liked the warm atmosphere in the pub and the great selection of beers. the suite was comfortable. it included french doors to a private garden overlooking the beck and fields.
the noise was a problem. i could hear televisions and other guests in adjacent rooms. this made it difficult to sleep, especially while recovering from an illness.

Acceptable Stay

quiet locationhelpful staffslow servicebasic salad
The location was quiet. The staff were helpful throughout our stay. The food was good and ample portions were provided.
Service in the restaurant was slow. We waited about 40 minutes for our order. The salad I ordered was basic for the price, it lacked ingredients.
