+ Room was perfectly clean and comfortable. Perfect for one or two nights if you just need somewhere to rest your head. Staff were very friendly. Good location and lovely bakery opposite. You can park overnight in local roads or car parks for free that are only a 2 minute walk away.
− We paid an additional £10 per night for a dog friendly room, but it didn’t have any ‘dog friendly’ additions. It would’ve been helpful to have a couple of dog bowls. The room was small, so for our big dog it was cosy, but fine for one night. We didn’t have any trouble with noise, but the windows are thin so I expect if the pubs next door are busy, it would be noisy.
