10/10 Excellent
"Our family room was in a building separate to the pub - 2 minute walk, with a great view. The room was really large, stylishly decorated with loads of great unexpected extras - kids toys, colouring sets & cards and a pay for mini bar with drinks & snacks. As we brought our dog they provided a dog bowl, dog bed and snack pack! We thought it was fabulous value for money, especially the breakfast. Our only feedback was the pillows were pretty hard. We would definitely look at Youngs for our next accommodation."
