A romantic getaway to remember
cathedral locationfriendly welcomegreat atmospheresweet decor
The location was fantastic. A quick walk brought me straight to the cathedral. Michael, the publican, offered a friendly welcome, which I appreciated so much. The traditional pub had a great atmosphere, full of loyal locals, it was so much fun. The room had sweet decor and felt spacious, a lovely haven after a day exploring.
The room, facing the main road, had some noise from traffic. The window didn't block it completely.
