clean rooms, properly cooked meals, good pub conversation
No hot water, freezing room without heating!!! Loud road noise disrupts sleep!!! Emergency contact details hidden, not easy to find!!! A little more attention to room comfort would improve the experience!!!

Fantastic pub grub and cozy vibes
We really dug the hearty portions at the pub, all fresh and tasty! The atmosphere was super chill with friendly vibes all around. The shower was a highlight – nice and powerful! Just wish the mattress had a bit more firmness for better sleep. Oh, and the bar area was a perfect spot for a nightcap.

The cosy atmosphere was enhanced by friendly pub staff who made dining a pleasure, with hearty, fresh dishes that satisfied our appetites completely. Clean accommodations provided everything we needed, although the bed could have used a firmer mattress for better support during the night. The shower was powerful and refreshing, but the room's heating was a bit lacking, and one night my sleep was disrupted by road noise.
