We had an overnight stay in a lovely room in the Tudor annexe. Exposed beams and uneven floors gave the room the required character. There were the odd cobwebs dotted around in deep corners, between the beams and the fireplace which were perhaps a feature too far though. The bed linen was fantastically crisp and white, lovely to get into. The breakfast was good as well, car park a little tight if you have a large car.

Friendly warm welcome, quiet location and just a few minutes walk away from the town centre.
Scrambled eggs with salmon for breakfast, what's not to like. We will definitely use again when we're back in the area.
