Great if you like to stay in a place with character, history and friendly staff, the payoff is its decor is a little dated as were the shower facilities. Value for money was goods with free parking, well positioned to walk into the City centre along the river path. We enjoyed our stay.

It is a great stopover. Rooms are above the pub. Not a problem. It is on a busy road so you do get traffic noise. Didn’t get to catch breakfast as we left early. Nice staff.
