The staff were really friendly and the food was amazing, the steak I had for dinner was cooked perfectly. Lovely atmosphere in the bar and it was nice to be in a pub with a proper local feel but not feel like the odd one out. The room was perfectly clean and nicely decorated and the shower was amazing.
