In the current climate the local pub is closing at a ridiculously high rate. I love a local pub & so do not like to see a former favourite become a block of flats. However in reality we have to face the fact that we are not only in a recession & therefore money for leisure is not as free... More

The term 'spartan' could have been invented to describe the room I stayed in. I booked at short notice and theirs was the only accomodation in the city on a busy weekend - for which genuine thanks - but for £55 i got a tired, noisy room with no trimmings at all apart from a tv, and with the smell...

The pub itself is a likable place with the usual food & atmosphere. We stayed for one night in one of the rooms. For the price it could not be beaten. It has everything you need but it is very basic as the price suggests. We were the for a wedding & so not in there long which I was... More

Simple but cosy rooms that have everything you need: coffee making facilities, little mirror, good lighting, small tv. Bathroom not on suite but just outside and equally well appointed. Nice decor throughout. Only thing is, noise is a bit of an issue: Bed very creaky - you'd possibly wake each other up when turning over. I was by myself so... More
