Exceeded expectations - very dog friendly!
The check in was brilliant - big thanks to the staff member who checked me and my 2 dogs in and showed us to the room and where to take the dogs for a run in the park! Room really good size and the shower was amazing. Every thing just as you want for a quick overnight stay. Parking easy and the breakfast was fab and again dog friendly.

My only negative was that the wifi would not connect in my room - even when given an alternative network and password. It connected without issue elsewhere in the hotel. Food and room were lovely

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Quaint with cheerful helpful staff.
I had a single room at the front of the hotel. It was clean and tidy. I had a comfortable night. I’d like some EV charging in the car park, but there are some near the town hall a short walk away.

Great dog friendly stay
Very welcoming and friendly staff, dog friendly rooms, bar and breakfast. The room was very comfortable with dog bowls. Great shower and toiletries. Breakfast served in the cafe across the road which as delicious and nice to have food served rather than a semi-warm buffet! Great stay.
