This is a nice converted old pub with renovated rooms that a cozy and comfortable. Great for a quick trip and and overnight stay - 2 max but not really much nolonger. The only downside for me was that the room was tiny. Double bed in the corner. So too small for more than one person. very small cupboard in fact the coffee and tea were in the same tiny space as the cupboard.

The property had lovely tasteful decor which was a plus staying in that environment. Very clean also. It was disappointing that there was a problem with the liquor license but hopefully for them that will soon be rectified.

Noisy trains ALL NIGHT!

Though this hotel is lovely to look at, I wouldn’t stay if you intend to sleep! My room was directly across from a railway station that doesn’t stop all night. Freight trains, passengers trains, trains blowing their horn, boom gates sounding ALL NIGHT!!! And no double glazed windows, so you might as well be sleeping on the tracks! Such a disappointment as the property is lovely, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend due to its location
