Comfortable Stay Near the Pub
comfy beds extra effort
The location proved GOOD for my family. The manager went out of his way to ensure our comfort and that we had everything needed. The beds were comfy.
The tv remote DIDN'T work. This should have been checked before arrival. It was also EXTREMELY hot, with no proper air con or windows that opened.

A barn stay
breakfast basket original beams early check-in pub location
The breakfast BASKET was a lovely surprise, stocked with tasty treats for a quick morning bite. I appreciated the pub being conveniently located next door. The fish platter was an AMAZING choice. The converted barn displayed original beams. The staff allowed an early check-in, which helped us make the most of our day.
The apartment got a bit warm, and opening the windows was impossible. So, airflow became a slight issue.
