Squeaky floor boards.
We felt the pub was old and quirky! The floor boards squeaked in the bedroom, waking partner when visiting the loo in the night!
The bathroom was very tied and we felt it needed a thorough deep clean or a modern update.
The beds were exceptionally comfortable.

Disappointing cooked breakfast
The cooked breakfast was disappointing. Cold avocado, toast made soggy by inadequately drained poached egg water. Runny egg white. Vegetarian sausage dried out and inedible. Lack of cutlery - no butter knives or teaspoons.

Family get together
Pre Christmas stay to meet family half way. Room was fine, but no hooks to hang coats up. Bar and restaurant service was good, even though it was very busy with Christmas works meals. Shout out to our waiter Toby for the excellent service.
