+ Well situated in the middle of the city. A nice rustic ‘proper’ pub feel to it. Room was spacious and extremely comfortable. The food is fantastic; I recommend the steak and ale pie, accompanied by the local beer. Very friendly staff.
− I have some mobility issues and all rooms are upstairs, which was somewhat of a struggle. However I was put on the lower floor to minimise the problem. Excellent support and suggestion from the staff, especially Jenny, to make things as easy as possible. The stairs would not put me off staying again.
