Average stay. Some issues
uncooked sausages breakfast quality
the room was clean, a small positive.
The bed was uncomfortable. I woke up with a sore back each morning. the breakfast was also a letdown. The sausages seemed undercooked, and the toast was barely toasted. this place needs some improvement. Especially considering the price.

prawn salad delicious chips homemade pie damp smell pulled forward unit cobweb evidence
I had a fantastic meal! The prawn salad was delicious and the chips were AMAZING!!! My friends enjoyed the homemade steak and ale pie with fresh vegetables. The steak pieces in the pie were big, and the taste was delectable.
The room had a damp smell in one corner. The bedside unit was pulled forward, I guess to help with air circulation. There were also cobwebs on the wall between the bedroom and bathroom.
