adequate stay overall

quality furnitureparking facilitieslate check-incheck-in time
the recently refurbished room featured good quality furniture. i found the bed comfortable and slept well (the pillows were soft). great parking facilities were available.
i arrived very late at 11:30 pm because of motorway issues. i was informed the last check-in time was 10 pm, something i hadn't realised. the kind receptionist checked me in anyway, but it was still a concern.

Comfortable and Convenient Stay

comfy bedgood showerground floor room
The room was indeed comfy, and I found it very clean and tidy. The shower was also very good, providing excellent water pressure (exactly what I needed after a long drive). Breakfast was delicious. It offered a good variety of options to start the day. Friendly staff ensured smooth check-in and check-out processes. The pub's proximity allowed easy access to both breakfast and evening meals (it was quite convenient). I appreciated the availability of ground floor rooms because I have limited mobility. The staff was so kind as to allocate a room for me.
I noticed some minor wear and tear in the room, such as small scuffs on the furniture.
