Room above a pub, good breakfast, good staff.
Very friendly owners. Arrived at 18:30 and room was not ready. But that was soon rectified and I had a complimentary drink while waiting. Bed/mattress was very soft. Maybe because I am used to a very firm mattress this was err... strange? and took some getting used to. Room was clean and towels were good quality. Excellent breakfast.
