Really good Stay
fresh breakfast helpful advice
The breakfast offered a lovely and freshly cooked selection of items. Rooms were well appointed. Adam provided helpful advice about taxi firms. The pub created a warm, cute atmosphere. Local people were there for chats.
I have never stayed anywhere with less sound proofing. Our room was above the bar and i could hear every word and every clink of glasses. The doors slammed regularly. I got little sleep because of the noise.
