The staff was attentive and friendly. the beds were comfortable. The room and bathroom were clean. the breakfast was tasty and made to order. i appreciate the owners accommodating me with a better room when one became available.
The shower pressure was quite low. It made rinsing off a little difficult.

some issues to consider
good locationnoise problemunhelpful staff
the location was good.
My room was directly above the pub, so noise was a problem until late. also, one staff member didn't seem to care about my noise complaint. It was like, yeah, it's a pub, so what?

The location was easy to find with good parking. Staff were friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated. Breakfast was really good. Staff were pretty good too ensure we had a good time. There was a really nice vibe in the pub every night of the week!!!
The room was directly over the pub, it was very noisy until 11.30pm. The shower pressure is non existent and too cold, unfortunately. There is some noise from the bar below in the bedrooms, luckily I fall asleep easily.
