A Good Pub Stay
clean bedroom stocked bedroom delicious breakfast stale smell smoke smell previous occupants
The room was lovely and clean. The bedroom also felt well stocked. Breakfast was delicious and hot, I ate all of it.
The room furnishings had a stale smoke smell. It seems occupants had previously smoked in the room. Food was not as good as a previous visit, it was a bit disappointing.
