    A boutique pub with rooms,we have stayed four times now and each room is different and obviously designed by someone with flair. Thé bar area is informal with a selection of draught beers and cocktails are available. The breakfast choices are good and we witnessed locals coming in for breakfast. A lovely place to stay with much more character than corporate hotels. The staff are friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our stay.
