comfy bed outside chair many specials
The room had a superking bed that was comfy. I also liked having two outside chairs with a table assigned to the room. The restaurant had many specials on the chalkboard in addition to a standard menu.
i found the slightly muddy bit of the car park difficult to negotiate as it's not lit.

superb stay!
free parking decorated room dinner pie friendly staff
This hotel provided free parking, so i had no stress finding a spot. the room was nicely decorated! i really enjoyed the pie of the day for dinner. They addressed my allergies carefully (i felt so safe!). the staff was friendly. I even chatted with locals in the pub (unexpected but so fun!).
the older windows in the room didn't block all street noise.
