We only wanted a simple breakfast which was provided buy the owners which was good.
I read the reviews but nobody seemed to mentioned two main complaints.1/ The hotel is near a busy road and the noise is very intrusive especially when your trying to get to sleep.2/The stairs leading up to our room were challenging when you start to descend especially when your elderly you have to be very careful and this should be more prominent in the information on this property.3/The room we were in was very small with tired decoration and furniture.

It was an excellent choice for our trip to visit family and friends in the area. The breakfast was great, it was also very useful to have self-catering facilities in the room. Arleta and Mark are very welcoming and friendly.We will definitely return.

Very welcoming and helpful hosts. Spotlessly clean and comfortable room with a mini kitchen. Great breakfasts, with a good vegetarian option. A well stocked bar with an interesting selection of ales and ciders. Public transport options are very accessible with bus stops just outside, and the railway station is two minutes walk away. A pleasant short riverside walk takes you to the town centre.

Comfortable room and bed with a nice view. Very amenable host.
Considering the room is above a pub, it was never really apparent especially when bedding down for the night.

It was great to have kitchen facilities in the room - a very pleasant surprise and much appreciated for making snacks and keeping a few bits in the fridge. We had a lovely view of the river with some beautiful skies and sunsets and the room was well furnished with a comfortable bed and roomy bathroom. Mark and Arieta were excellent hosts, kind and caring. The breakfasts they provided were excellent too!
