The Brown Pub is the ideal location for a cost effective holiday. I've stayed here a number of times and keep coming back. Remember, it's a pub so it goes off like a frog in a sock on Friday and Saturday nights - so either be part of the celebrations or wear ear plugs !! The staff are sensational - going that extra mile even into the wee hours of the morning. The rooms are clean and warm, the kitchen is great, stacks of hot water in the showers... and the WiFi is faster than at home ! Everything you could possibly need for a short stay or a family holiday. I'll be back.

Suited us perfectly. Centrally situated. Staff most helpful and great to deal with. Kitchen to make tea/coffee was good. Only downside it is a joint bathroom and toilet, but is still most convenient as close to bedrooms.

I thought this place was excellent value for money. It is in a great location right on the Main Street - walking distance to everything. Akthough our room was quite small and basic the bed was very comfortable ( and large) sheets were a crisp cotton and very clean. The kitchenette was well kitted out and having a living space and verandah was excellent although both were tired and the living space a little overstuffed with a mishmash of furniture . The decor was also a mishmash but pretty inoffensive. The bathroom was very clean . I would stay again and recommend to others. I have no comment on the food as we didn’t eat at the hotel.
