Staff is friendly and rooms are spacious and comfortable. Only minus is that the restaurant service closes too early.

Really nice place, lovely inside and welcoming staff. Good choice or real ale. Prices are a little high hence why I can't justify 5 stars but it's close.

Revisited a place we used to frequent quite a lot. Very disappointed. Sat in bar for drinks just turned 9pm. Felt cold so asked if fire could be stoked as it was nearly out. Were told 'No, been told to let it go out'. Could accept this if the radiators had been on. Sat with drinks. It was freezing. Not pleasant felt unwelcome so left. Wife left her wine it was so cold. Went to find somewhere warm and inviting. Won't be going back in a hurry.
