Had a very enjoyable stay,, you check in at the bar in the pub. Very quick and friendly room was very clean. Stayed in room 1. Bathroom looked like it had a refurb. Only downside was no remote for the tv, but landlady said it was on order, no problem as can turn over with the buttons. Whilst having a drink in the bar we spoke to the landlady and she said she had only been there 12 weeks so was trying to get the pub back up and going after being closed for a while.
