ample parkingclean roomcomfortable bedbroken aerialdry foodlittle space

The hotel has ample parking. It is a major plus. There is a pub attached and it is convenient. The staff seemed friendly and ready to help with local information when I asked. My room was spacious and very clean. I found the bed comfortable, and the area quiet.

The tv aerial in my room was broken. I had dinner at the pub, and the food was quite dry. I thought it was a bit overcooked. There wasn't much surface space in the room.
