mixed feelings about the stay

the staff were friendly enough during my brief stay.
the price for a single pint felt outrageous. i paid almost £7! it makes me think twice about returning, frustrating since the pub itself is nice.

the room has been recently renovated and proved comfortable.
The staff attitude was poor. I asked to check in, and the waitress and receptionist asked what time it was and flatly refused because i was 30 minutes early.. this felt very unwelcoming..
