Below average for price
Breakfast doesn’t start until 8:30…. Absolutely no use at all if you’re working or want to get out and about.
Room 6 was very cramped and with it being on the top floor the ceiling tapered off due to the roof to the extent where you were bent double. Bathroom was small and has a radiator above the toilet positioned just right to hit your head on as you stand up.
Meal was very good in the evening.
Definitely not worth the money charged.

Comfortable stay. Great food.
We had an excellent comfortable stay. Met up with family. The food was excellent and the service was friendly and professional.
Would definitely recommend if passing through ‘Ings’ which is a lovely place to stay.
Hope to go again soon.

Good evening meal, good breakfast just needed to cook the bacon & especially the sausages more (we specially asked for well done bacon & sausages) & keep the baked beans hot not lukewarm which spoiled the meal. Room very small & compact & beware of the very large wooden beam which is very low in the middle of the room. Would definitely eat a lunch/dinner meal again when passing.
