charming pub stay

side entrance traditional spot convenient access
the side entrance to the rooms was convenient. It allowed me to bypass the pub if i wanted. i also had a pint in the pub one evening before heading to bed (the atmosphere was quite cute). the breakfast was great.
i found that the tea facilities were not replenished upon my arrival, a bit inconvenient.

the location included takeaways and a couple of shops in the local area. it was easy to find from the main road (this made navigation simple). a supermarket and restaurants were within a five-minute walk.

Rooms

friendly staff helpful staff clean room convenient location non-existent wifi dresser stains loud music
The staff was really friendly and helpful! the room was also very clean and cozy. It was better than i expected. plus, the location was super convenient to get around.
the wifi was practically non-existent, a bit of a hassle. also, i noticed some stains on the dresser, which wasn't too appealing. the music from the pub was quite loud on saturday night, it made it hard to sleep early!
