i appreciated that the rooms are dog friendly, including the bar and restaurant. the fire in the dining room contributed to the pleasant atmosphere. i found several menu items easily adaptable for gluten-free requirements. a restful night followed in a comfortable room, complete with crisp percale linen and a very clean bathroom.
the food quality did not meet expectations i found it quite disappointing overall.

Excellent Food, Cozy Room

coffee machine bottled water friendly staff english breakfast
The room included a coffee machine and bottled water. That was really nice. The staff was friendly. They were happy to assist with anything I needed, so I felt welcomed. The breakfast had a full English option that tasted good, and the bed offered expected amenities and comfort. The car park at the rear was conveniently sized.
I found some slight stains on the carpet in the room. The room looked a bit worn.

Acceptable Stay with Minor Issues

The breakfast offered a good start to the day.
The room felt quite cramped. The limited space made it difficult to move around comfortably, and I found the overall layout less than ideal.

Small Room and Hidden Fees

small room surprise charge
The room was quite small! This made working on my laptop difficult since there was no desk or chair. the food bill included a surprise 12.5% service charge. Fish and chips with two beers cost £36.00 because of this. I wasn't asked about any food allergies, and the toast at breakfast came already buttered.
