Great affordable pub stay with fab breakfast

It was a very comfortable stay.

Pros: I liked all the little things about the room like the lights in the floor lighting up the bathroom. I also loved the food. It was a very quiet location. The woman that owned it had tried out each room which I liked and was also exceptionally nice.

Cons: I didn’t like the fact it only had pegs to hold your clothes on- no wardrobe but I also appreciate there was no room for one. I disliked the curtains as you couldn’t pull them properly and they were frayed.
