Stayed here with friends for one night in two of the twin rooms. Rooms are very good for the price, all the basic amenities are covered, you get tea/coffee facilities, bottled water and biscuits, rooms were clean, exactly what you want when you just need a place to sleep. Check in/out was very easy and staff were very friendly. I would happily stay here again.

Very friendly and welcoming staff and regulars. Good place to go during the week as its not as busy, but also not too quiet. And they have a pool table if you're into that. Would definitely go again!

I was very late arriving 10.20pm and was greated by a very helpful member of staff, the pub was very busy and had a good friendly feel to it. My room and ensuite is very clean with tea & coffee available and overall great value for money. It's located about 15mins from the city centre with ample parking and I would be happy to stay here again.
