The food is amazing and lots of great home made food. Defo 5 star plus. The room is okay for the price but it was fine. Internet fine. I would stay again and it has a lovely family and friends feel.

Excellent hotel for attending a wedding
Very good location for the wedding and a reasonable rate for the night. Very comfy bed and good shower.
The pub lunch was very tasty and excellently cooked, fish and chips and scampi were delicious.
The car park at the back was welcome as limiting parking in the town.

Room had 2 mugs, both of which were dirty with a strange yellow crusting along the lip and needed a clean. Curtains could do with being blackout, let loads of streetlight in.
