This place offers convenient access to transportation as the bus into the city stops across the road. The proximity to other pubs and country walks adds to the appeal. I appreciated the hotel being located in a nice residential area.

My double room came with a private bathroom. I found a comfortable bed equipped with nice pillows and white linen. The shower had a hot, strong flow. Good quality teabags were also provided.

some issues encountered
stained teacup salty gammon
The stairs needed vacuuming. the door to my room was spring-loaded. It trapped my hand, causing a painful bruise. The shower definitely needed modernisation, so I didn't use it. The evening meal was not great. I ordered the gammon. It was too salty to eat, and the waitress agreed after trying it. My breakfast tea cup was stained. I didn't drink from it.
