First of all, every member of staff was excellent in terms of service and friendliness. Absolutely brilliant. The hotel was very dog friendly and totally welcoming. The bed was comfortable and relaxing. Location wise, not brilliant if you don't want to drive. Taxi's at the weekend in the evening we're difficult to get. Nothing within easy walking range restaurant wise, though you can bring food into the hotel area. The room was small, even more so with a dog. On leaving, the service staff said they woul have allocated us a larger room had they known about the dog. The Oyo booking agent hadn't mentioned the dog, even though we had told them. Recommend booking directly with the hotel. Big problem is the external noise. Overlooking the pub courtyard, it got very noisy at times. Fortunately, the pub closes at 11.00 ish so sleep was not disturbed. The shower riser did not work but that was the only issue with the bathroom. Overall, a very pleasant stay. The staff and locals were very friendly and welcoming. Pity they don't do food. We would return.

Nice place to visit, we came for a quick weekend so wasn't after anything fancy, we booked the family room, it was nice and spacious for us and our 3 toddlers. Room was nice and clean, one of the single beds had a tough mattress so wasn't a very pleasant sleep for me the first night, came morning I sneaked onto the double bed with my kids and slept amazing. When we first got there it was a little confusing as there's a door to the left that says reception and then the pub on the right but there was no one at reception and no bell to ring or anything so we just figured out we had to go and ask in the pub. The lady that saw it us was lovely and helpful. The Inn is located in a lovely area with lots to do locally, lots of shops, restaurants etc. The pub music does come through to the room but it isn't too loud and not something you can't sleep through
