Compact rooms, located in yard behind the pub, a little noisy around closing time, all quiet after that, not a problem unless you are planning an early night. Shower clean, good flow and hot, biscuits with the tea and coffee, twin beds comfortable but we booked a double room, suggest ringing before arrival to confirm selection. Reasonably priced, would recommend if staying one or two nights.

The rooms were tidy. Liked the quaintness of the premise it being an old building and such.

Fun place to stay... own cottage- like room that overlooked the outdoor seating area, convenient location, great price. No AC, but evening breeze cooled things down. Bit noisy early when the pub gets deliveries, but that's quick and minor. Shower door did not close all the way so floor got wet, but that was probably unique to our cottage. Would stay here again.
