“The recent renovations are noticeable, particularly in the rooms which feel bright and comfortable, with a real sense of value for money. While breakfast isn't served on-site, the provided cereals and snacks are a thoughtful touch, and the staff's warmth and helpfulness, especially with luggage for walkers, make a considerable impression. The pub itself is a lively local hub, and the quality of the evening meals, especially the fish and chips, is genuinely impressive.”
