Excellent Stay!

awesome breakfastcute staffexcellent experiencecreaky stairs
The breakfast was fantastic. Staff were cute and helpful. I used the parking without issue. The restaurant provided an excellent experience.
The stairs were creaky. This created some noise during the night. It wasn't a huge issue, but it was noticeable.

We had a beautifully refurbished room right across the road. it had an enclosed little garden, just perfect for the dogs! we enjoyed coffee at the bistro table and chairs just outside the front door. the pub's decor is amazing. I really liked the plants.
