Rated 8.9 out of 10 by 381 guests who stayed here.
The staff were great. It’s a corner pub and clearly popular. The food was really good and the portions incredibly generous. I’d forgo a starter next time but then I’d miss out another incredible flavour. Big smiles at…
Great restaurant and friendly staff
Rooms tired and road super noisy.
Staff and service level was excellent with my evening meal and breakfast

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like
Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very accommodating for our early departure, letting us order the night before so that we could eat and run in the morning!

Rates include the taxes and fees we can read.
The property may take a card at check-in for incidentals.
A deposit may be required at the property.
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.

Nothing to do with the booking above. The same market, priced the same way, for if this one is not it.
