Cons

Some rooms may experience noise from the pub below.

The location near a busy main road could affect light sleepers.

“This pub offers more than just a convenient overnight stop; it's a welcoming place with thoughtful touches. I particularly appreciate the well-stocked communal kitchen for breakfast, a simple but outstanding feature. The separation of drinking and dining spaces creates a cosy atmosphere, and the friendly, attentive staff complete the experience. It's a spot I'd happily return to.”
