Folk music all night. Playing bag pipes and other instruments till stupid o'clock. Probably would've been a good night down in the bar but not when you have to get up for work. The room was smelly and just not very clean so I wouldn't recommend

It's a bit rough and ready but welcome was genuine and warm. It is a budget hotel and the sheets were clean and bed were very comfortable and that alone was worth the money. …

Damp musty room. Mould aplenty in bathroom and around bedroom window. No hot water to wash hands after toileting even after alerting stand in management. A portable heater was brought to us after asking for some more heat in the room, alas still condensation in the morning on all 4 panes in the window, 2 of which were cracked. My partner who has breathing difficulties could not last the night because of the mould/dampness and left in a taxi to take her miles home at midnight.

At first I thought it was a stupid joke. I have never seen such a dirty and smelly hotel room in my life. It was so disgusting that we immediately left and found another hotel. They refused to return the money and said that we should have requested a cleaner hotel room. I don't even want to imagine what it looks like at there homes

Very friendly & helpful. Not large selection of on tap beer but you know it did not matter. We did not eat there but had very good menu for veggies & you could get a take away. After a long walk sitting outside in the sun was very pleasant. I’d recommend it.

Food was fine. Barman and other customers were friendly and pleasant. Bar is dog friendly and we were given a bowl of water for our dog without asking for it.

To be absolutely honest: The owners are really nice and the pub is quite cozy. I would not recommend the rooms though. Unfortunately, this house needs maintenance and mold removal :(

Evening meal and a few drinks in this lovely local hotel. Food was spot on and inexpensive, drinks were value for money. A good honest pub with very friendly staff, we will definitely return before heading home.
