Rooms a little tired particularly the bathroom. Staff very friendly and pub food not bad at all. Very strange that breakfast was from 9.30am, which was too late for us as we had a business meeting in Swindon.

Arrived about 6pm to be told hot meals ceased at 4:30! Hugely disappointed, one of the primary reasons for choosing this property was the prospect of a pub meal having been travelling all day.
