About this property

“Quirky (in a good way) historic building. I stay here once a year for a golf trip, and will do so again. Centrally located, street parking quite close. Clean and comfortable, albeit that some areas (e.g. bathroom) could do with updating. Fair...”

“Delightfully quirky and genuinely old fashioned inn. Sone aspects are a bit shabby but that just adds to the charm. Well kept real ales - 5 when we stayed - and really good curries and english breakfasts. Will stay again.”
