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.

Clean an tidy room, lovely crisp bedding and comfy matress we slept really well. Room overlooked the pub yard was very quiet. Staff very helpful offering take out menus and directions to local chippy which they had no problem with us eating in the bar. Bathroom a tad small and no towel rail, bin and flooring could have gone with replacing but didn’t bother us for one night it was clean ! Very good standard for budget accommodation well done !!
