Room was outstanding would definitely recommend to eat here. Even made us a breakfast pack up.
Only slight point was the noise but to be expected as we were above the bar … but don’t let that put you off.
Superb stay highly recommended
Brilliant stay and food. We had our dog with us and they could not have been more dog friendly. We had an evening meal and it was excellent, best cheesecake ever!! All staff were friendly and helpful, could not recommend this pub enough.
