Clean, very comfy bed
Very cool about dogs
Great breakfast
Really helpful and friendly staff
Cramped room , a fan did save the day but still v warm.
Snug definitely means snug, quite expensive for the size of room.
Evening meal and menu was ok but not to the standard of the breakfast

6 / 10Average·Aug 2026
The location was excellent, and the non-smoking rear garden with very comfortable shelters was very welcome as the weather was hot.
Great beer!
After we'd waited nearly an hour after we'd placed our dinner order the staff eventually realised when they tried to bill us that they'd never placed the order. But, they compensated for their error by not charging for a round of drinks or our desserts. Fortunately we weren't in a hurry. But it didn't give you a lot of confidence.
The following morning we were very disappointed by having to wait over 40 minutes for our breakfast, where many of the things we asked for weren't available. The hotel management knew how many people were stoppping overnight, so should have anticipated what would be required, particualrly as the menu wasn't that extensive. We intentionally didn't get there for when breakfast started to avoid the initial rush, but were concerned when we arrived 45 minutes later to find nobody had any food in front of them. It appeared the chef could only cook and prepare one persons food at at time.
What made it really disappointing was no coffee. There was none in our rooms, and as the only coffee machine in the restaurant was broken and we were told that "we could have instant, but it's not very good", so that was avoided.
