The property and room were great. Very good service in the restaurant downstairs. The only thing I wish it had is a small fridge to keep things.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
the noise from the road was very loud and I asked to change rooms. rooms are cleaned every 2 days tea bags and milk were not refreshed, I had to go to the bar to ask for more. the rooms were away from the pub/ restaurant so if there was a problem in the night I am not sure who I would call. To get to the rooms you go up outside steps, the light does not come on until you are half way down the steps so in the dark is dangerous.
