an lovely stay!
perfect meat friendly service
i savored the sunday roast and it was AMAZING!!! the meat was cooked perfectly, and the roast potatoes were crispy and flavorful. the gravy was also divine. the service was really friendly too, made the whole meal even better.
the room i booked had a slight doggy smell, a little off-putting at first. the drainage in the bathroom also had a noticeable odor. it wasn't overpowering, but it was definitely there.
