Not for me!
Hotel on a main road. The double glazing was broken and had a a panel missing resulting in very early morning noise. The room was also tired and in need of decoration as was the rest of the pub. The hotel did not represent good value for money

Good place to stay but needs a clean
The check-in was great on arrival with plenty of info from Courtney.
The food in the pub was also good with no complaints.
The room I stayed in needs a good deep clean both in the bedroom and bathroom.
You could also hear every noise from people walking past your room with the floors creaking and doors shutting which made for a terrible nights sleep.
