I should make it clear that this review and rating is as a pub only as we only used it for drinks, so I can’t comment on the food.
Although a hotel, the bar is more of a traditional pub bar with wooden flooring, wood tables and chairs and a pleasant atmosphere. They had a couple of ales on tap and the seating was comfortable. Being very close to the cathedral and castle there looked to be a mix of clientele, from locals to visitors, but there were no groups of loud youngsters (at least, not when we were there), and it didn’t look that sort of place. The young lady behind the bar was friendly and welcoming, and we found it a pleasant and comfortable pub with a good ambience for a few drinks. I would certainly use it again for a drink when next in the area.
