parking space strong signal
i loved the ample car parking space available. the wifi worked really well and i got a strong signal throughout my stay (even in the room!).
The beer was a bit pricey. I think six pounds for a pint of strong beer is a little high.

quiet getaway
quiet night gravel car park double bed modern decoration
i stayed in a room beside the main road, it was surprisingly quiet at night. a big gravel car park is beside the inn. the room included a double bed and ensuite shower with modern decoration, it was super clean. the wifi signal was strong.
The restaurant staff did not look after all guests equally. They focused mainly on the person being served.
Service

The breakfast was a continental style one delivered outside the door, it included cereal, fruit and croissant. all items looked fresh. I found this setup particularly convenient. the beer price was standard at £6 a pint.

The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable, too. Staff offered a continental breakfast (a lovely touch) delivered directly to my door each morning. The food available in the pub was delicious, with very good portion sizes.
