“The location by the canal is certainly a draw, and I found the beds to be notably comfortable, making for a restful stay. The pub itself serves excellent food, particularly the pizzas, and the garden area is a pleasant spot to unwind. While rooms are basic, they are clean and offer good value, with parking conveniently located right outside.”
