Super old building easy parking simple quick check in, dog friendly, polite fun staff, parts of the place need some urgent investment, but shower room i had was new ish and excellent, rooms spotless and quiet. Kitchen breakfast wide choice great eggs and mushrooms. Good coffee. Dinner more good ingredients with some unusual pairings. Steaks costly..
The staff were all excellent and remembered names and showed interest in whatever it was you were doing
For them alone it is worth a visit.

Lovely place, but breakfast only starts at 8.00, would be better it it started at 7.30 for those on the road earlier
