Fantastic Stay with Great Food!

helpful stafforiginal presentationexcellent breakfastsmall window
I was so impressed with the helpful staff and their warm welcome. The English breakfast was excellent. I especially loved the restaurant. The food was really amazing, and the presentation of the dishes was wonderfully original! The waiter was so helpful, explaining the wines and suggesting pairings with my meal.
My room was quite small! The window was also very small, so the ventilation wasn't great. The bathroom felt tiny, and the fan in the bathroom was broken.

The restaurant provided excellent food, with dishes presented in an original style. The staff offered wine recommendations, and the breakfast included delicious options with local ingredients, which really made my day, every day.

The hotel offers limited free parking. Arriving in the afternoon meant spaces were available, since the pub attracts more people in the evenings. The parking being on-site was really convenient for me.
