The in-house pub, known for its Sunday roast and craft beers, adds a lively social element.

overpowering scentunevenly cooked fish
The floral scent in the room upon arrival was overpowering. I had to open the patio door for hours to air it out. The fish I ordered for dinner was unevenly cooked, with not much flesh. Breakfast cereal was difficult to access from its jar, and the waitress disappeared while getting my coffee.
