The facilities are generally well-received, with the property being equipped for a pleasant stay.

Although the building has character, very old in parts, the flat is new build and adequately equipped, but has low timber roof beams (new), 5ft above floor level over one bed and above the settee. Generally clean, but there was thick dust on the bookcase, and the vacuum cleaner was so clogged it was inefficient. Note that the pub is only open 3 or 4 days a week, and even then food is not always available.

Friendly host and had everything I needed for my stay. Could benefit from a hook or doorstop to keep the outside door open when it's windy.x
