Pleasant Stay Near the Rail Station

friendly staffhelpful staffconvenient locationnice bar
The staff were very friendly and helpful. I found a nice bar area there. The location proved convenient. The rail station was at the road's bottom (ideal for day trips). A wetherspoons pub located nearby was a definite plus.
The exterior showed some weathering, though the inside was lovely.
