Adequate Stay

helpful staff spacious room tough meat dinner menu
The staff were very helpful. The bar lady was especially great. The room was spacious. My dog had plenty of room for his bed.
The dinner menu was disappointing. The Cullen Skink lacked a smoked taste. The steak and ale pie had tough meat. The sides did not match at all.
