Very pleasant place with a lot of history and an owner that goes well out of his way to please. The staff are very friendly too. Stayed over 2 weeks in 2 different rooms and was happy with both. The cooked breakfast was spot on! Located 5 mins walk from shops and takeaways. Worth a visit.

Had an excellent meal at a very reasonable price. Staff were friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend a visit if you're nearby and they also cater for gluten and dairy free.
