We booked and paid for 4 rooms for 8 people on Hotels.com but the hotel said we only had 3 rooms on arrival. The hotel provided an alternative room on the first night but on the second night one couple had to sleep on a single mattress on the floor of another room. While the staff at the pub were apologetic the manager of hotel provided no resolution to the issue.

Excellent accommodation, modern, tasteful and spotlessly clean. Free parking on site and great pub George and Dragon next door serving top notch food. Peaceful at night.
