Rooms 3 and 4 at the front of the building are extremely loud - lorries passing all through the night. Bathrooms in need of maintenance with smelly drains, poor shower and broken plug. Food and staff excellent though so if you're not bothered by road noise worth a stay.

Great food with gluten free iptions - available all day. Lovely spacious room and bathroom and staff were most welcoming and helpful. The only downside was road noise - our room was roadside and we stayed saturday night. Maybe it would be quieter mid week tho i dont know. Otherwise a great inn.
