Convenient place to stay for the night. Friendly staff in the bar directed me to my room and gave instructions for leaving in the morning. Arrived in the evening so could find on-street parking close by, then moved my car to the carpark when there were spaces. Bed was comfy.

Excellent hotel for attending a wedding
Very good location for the wedding and a reasonable rate for the night. Very comfy bed and good shower.
The pub lunch was very tasty and excellently cooked, fish and chips and scampi were delicious.
The car park at the back was welcome as limiting parking in the town.

Just stayed for a night so hard to form an educated opinion on the hotel. It was clean, probably could do with some modernisation but at this price it was definitely adequate. The staff and the food were excellent though

Room No. 7 very tired and dated. Mattress so uncomfortable. En-suite had bad smell, not the best hotel stay this year. Didn’t expect too much but was a let down. Check-in and staff all fine.

Nice stay again.
Old and querky hotel, very reasonable price and we have stayed here a few times.
Bed was quite comfortable and the shower was excellent.
A full English breakfast is an extra cost but well worth it.
We also ate there on the Saturday evening, and although they were busy, they still managed to find us a table, it was very good food.

The staff were friendly and helpful, the food and beer were good and the room was small but comfortable. The shower could do with a refurbishment and the lack of a table and chair was a little annoying, but overall, a nice place and good value for money.
