Owners have tried to provide all amenities - with pull out table and two folding chairs, a Ninja dual air fryer (manual available) and combi microwave (no instructions found). Very limited crockery and cooking equipment. Unfortunately noise from adjacent pub went on until 0014, when I had to call out for quiet!

The Park Inn was very inviting the regulars very friendly and had lots of suggestions of interesting places go. This was the most dog friendly pub we have ever been to, our dog Digby settled right in he was like a local in a few days . we even had our own parking place. when you can walk out of the accommodation through our own gate into the pub garden what more can you ask for
