The King and Queen

8/10 Good

"Room was lovely and clean, the staff were all great There was allocated parking for the room but unfortunately for the first 2 days someone else decided to use it. The kitchen was closed in the pub on Sunday and Monday evening so I had to find alternative food but when the kitchen was open the food was lovely. On Saturday evening that had a steak night and the fillet steak I had was one of the best steaks I have ever eaten and it was cooked to perfection. Overall a very good place to stay."
