Well worth the visit
Great, quirky rooms above a pub. Very friendly and helpful staff. Just a one night stay but it was good and we'd definitely return. Breakfast was really good in terms of both options and what arrived from the kitchen.

Great food, decent location and good breakfast.
Naturally, it is a pub, so usual pub noises are to be expected until closure time.
