Lovely old building. Found the pub area quite smelly on arrival late afternoon, which was a bit disconcerting. However, the room and accommodation area was good. We did have breakfast in the pub the next morning and it had all been freshly cleaned and smelt fine. The general area around the pub was pretty run down, with a lot of buildings uncared for and empty.
