Quality Service at the Rock Pub
A very warm welcome, significant pride in the facility, excellent food and wonderful service. The bedroom was immaculately clean. I had a meeting in one of the local business parks and this was an excellent location for an overnight stay. The only downside was the road noise, especially with the room window opened, however, this was a tolerable negative during a very positive stay.
