Really good Food and Friendly Service
quality ingredientsfantastic foodimmaculate roomfriendly atmosphere
Breakfast was included. It featured quality ingredients. The food in the restaurant was fantastic every evening. I particularly enjoyed the warm scotch egg and a pint on Saturday afternoon. The rooms were immaculate, and the atmosphere felt warm with locals and visitors present. The staff remembered my drink at the bar. I liked that attention.
I was looking forward to a Grange bakery bread sandwich. The bread seemed dry though and not freshly baked. I hope it was just an off day. Everything else was excellent.
Rooms

The double room had a comfortable bed and ample space for luggage. There was also a modern television with satellite channels and complimentary tea and coffee making facilities available for a relaxing stay. The bathroom featured fluffy towels and high-quality toiletries.

I found the staff really friendly. the food was good and portion sizes were generous too. i appreciated the car park.
I think the breakfast hours need reviewing. I couldn't get a cooked breakfast before 8:00 am. this schedule did not suit my work schedule.

the car park offers ample space for all guests. there is good lighting at night around the perimeter, which i noticed. the entryway features automatic doors to ease access for people with limited mobility.
