Pleasant stay
It’s a nice basic hotel with friendly staff in a nice area. There was tea and coffee in the room and breakfast was really nice. The best place to park was the car park at Tyler’s Ride which is a short walk away. There are lots of options nearby for food and there was a band at the hotel

The hotel isn’t too bad but the loud noise from the bar or pub downtown is huge sleep deprivation with soundproof.

The area is safe, and the hotel is clean as a avarage countryside hotel. The staff is also hospitable. One thing I might say is no auto lock room keys and the entrance too.

Nice staff, but the corridors stank and the walls were pretty thin so I could understand the full conversation that went on until 1am in the room next door
