Absolutely excellent, staff went above and beyond.

10.0

Incredibly welcoming from the moment we walked through the door. A friend and I stopped for the night during a three day cycling event. Our bikes were safely locked in a garage overnight. We had a couple of beers outside in the sun, which was great, before eating inside. The food was incredible and reasonably priced. We were shown to our room which was perfect: clean, comfortable and exactly as expected. After a shower we both went into the pub for a few more drinks. Above everything, the staff were absolutely brilliant. We were made to feel very welcome.

Honestly I couldn't fault the whole experience.
