Pleasant overnight stay
Pleasant overall stay. Room had all the usual facilities one would expect, all in working order. Restaurant serves the usual pub fayre for a reasonable price & to a fair standard. Bed was quiet hard, as were the pillows, but this is only a personal preference. Breakfast was of a good choice & variety, although a bit pricey at £10 per head. It should be noted that access to the bedrooms was by staircase only, so would be not vaiable for everybody. Overall a good overnight stay.
