Marj, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel and pub looked lovely and it was a comfortable room, however I had a couple of issues with cleanliness in my room. There were small marks on the duvet cover, which may not have been fresh but still make it appear used. There was also a dead spider in the bed when I pulled the duvet cover back completely. I tried to speak to someone at reception but there was no one there when I went down in the evening, or when I checked out in the morning.

This is our third time staying here, the room this time was a lot bigger, the rooms are clean and well stocked. We ate dinner in the restaurant and yet again the food was excellent. If you are ever in the area, I would highly recommend this place to both stay and eat.
