The room decor felt clean and modern. I appreciated the included amenities. Everything I needed was right there. The manager was especially helpful. She provided plates and cutlery when we ordered takeaway to eat in the pub (a very nice gesture!).

friendly staff clean room small car park outside steps

The check-in process was simple and easy. The staff was friendly and ready to help me. The room was clean. Tea and coffee were available in the room.

The car park was small. The steel steps to the first-floor rooms were located outside. (It seemed like a fire escape).
