Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
We enjoyed our stay here. Historic old pub within easy walking distance of the city centre. Spacious room and bathroom. Comfy bed. Clean and tidy. Friendly staff. Great value for money. Would definitely stay again when in the area.
Great location to all the amenities its just a 10 minute walk into the town either by the river or along the main road, very friendly staff and lovely clean rooms,i would definitely reccomend..
Very close to the city centre, lovely walk along the riverfront, couldn’t fault it.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
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.
