The meal I had was delicious.
The kettle didn't switch off automatically. THIS was very dangerous. None of the windows opened, so the room was unbearably stuffy. the bed moved around freely because it wasn't fixed properly.

lovely stay at the pub

I enjoyed my visit. The staff was helpful. The king size room offered cleanliness, and included adequate equipment. I liked that all areas of the building were dog friendly. It was convenient.
The absence of treats or other dog provisions was surprising. I understood a bed and bowls were standard amenities.
