Positive: Great pub, staff excellent - food good. Lady on reception (Michelle?) was very helpful, professional & friendly. It’s nice to see. Thank you
Negative: The beds are very uncomfortable. Having been shown our room, we checked the mattress and it was heavily soiled. I asked the lady in reception and on inspection she confirmed they would give us another room. Unfortunately that mattress too was uncomfortable-they are probably very old. Mattresses need to be replaced - properly fitting mattress and pillow protectors should be used.
Summary: Definitely would go again but will only stay overnight if the mattress’s are replaced
