My room was a little tired, but for the price I wasn't expecting the Ritz. Perfectly functional, with comfy bed, good shower over bath. Nice extras of biscuits and bottled water. Staff in pub great, food really tasty, food and beer very reasonably priced. Felt very safe and welcomed as a single traveller. Will happily return.
