Great location overlooking the Dee Estuary. Room had great view and very comfortable. Breakfast good. Plenty of parking. Ate elsewhere as meeting friends from the local area.

Pub was quite noisy, but settled down quickly at closing time.

Great location.

Waitress didn’t look happy when I requested 6 poached eggs for breakfast, (nothing else!) Bar & food prices far too high as was the room rate, after all this is a pub not a 4* hotel! Car park open to none residents so very quickly became full, many staying at the pub couldn’t get parked!
