Checking in and out was nice and simple. Room was very good and spotlessy clean. Comfortable bed. The only let down was breakfast which was a bit dry and overcooked. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking was great, in a town where it is notoriously difficult. Would be happy to stay again.

The inn is a popular spot for dinner for the locals. However for travellers the menu is limited and main items auch as the Sunday roast specials were all sold out befor 1730hrs.

Rooms are outdated but probably on par for the town. Car park was very convenient. Staff were excellent but were not available overnight which I found odd.

Staff on reception always welcoming. Stayed numerous times, apart from squeaky floorboards which cannot be helped in an old building, everything is fine.
