The breakfast was really good as was the lady that served us. The room was nice and big although in need of decorating with ripped off wallpaper and holes in the bathroom, plus the TV didn't work, which I presume the guy behind the bar knew as he didn't seem interested when we told him.
All in all a good stay, worth what we paid.

Very tricky to find the parking, too bad they do write the direction in the automated welcome email.
It was extremely hot, it was so hot that the kitchen closed at 6pm, no AC anywhere in the premises and not even a fan ion the room.
The bathroom window could not be open to create cross breeze.
This hotel is definably not for the summer staying.

Overall a great place to stay - an old pub and hotel so ‘quirky’ and that suited us. Friendly staff, great breakfast. Didn’t eat in restaurant so no comment. Bed comfortable, but room lacked clothes storage for a long stay.

Ended up with 3 rooms instead of the two booked (no extra cost) because of a broken lock, but that made our stay better. Staff were really helpful.

No instructions in the room so couldn’t work the internet or the television but was only there for two nights and visiting family so didn’t spend much time there to worry - no doubt the staff could have explained. Some issues with maintenance, but again all part of staying in a reasonable, well priced, and old pub/hotel.

Travel and access easy and plenty of parking.

Main comment - we enjoyed our stay, it was ideal for our needs and will use the again.

Plenty of parking, adequate room although it could do with a spruce up. Bathroom was a bit tatty with wood rot on the window frame due to shower being next to it.

Poor breakfast. (No vegetarian option) just a ‘normal’ breakfast without sausage or bacon. Instant coffee and cartons of milk rather than real coffee.

Staff friendly enough though.

Probably would find somewhere else next time.

Staff were very friendly and breakfast was nice. Nice pub that seems popular and I had dinner which was also very good and good value. Room location was way away from the pub so even though it was loud I couldnt hear it from the room which was better than other pubs I've stayed at.

However TV didnt work and nor did wifi in the room. The 'double' bed was 2 twins pushed together and you could really feel it. Couldnt open windows. It wasnt too hot so was okay but must be a furnace when it hits the high 20s. Breakfast was nice but you're put right next to the kitchen and can hear them quite loud and in and out of the swinging door. Quite a strong smell of bleach or line cleaner in the morning which i read on other reviews. Fine for oncle night but wouldn't personally stay for more than that.

Spacious clean room with fresh air and natural light. I had a quiet and comfortable stay. They cooked fresh breakfast everyday with table service. As a vegetarian they catered to my dietary preferences. The dinner served in the pub was excellent too. Staff were friendly and welcoming, hassle free check in and check out. The place felt safe, convenient and is in a great location. Even the locals and other guests that I met during my stay there were friendly. The only negative thing is that the bathroom needs some work done. Although it was clean and functioning, the sink taps were dripping, shower tap was hard to stop. Tiles around the bathroom were loose, the window frame wood paint has come off and is exposed to water from the shower.

On check in we got told the kitchen closed at 20:00. We went to order food at 19:55 a bit last minute. The barmaid told us the kitchen was closed and we could only have a chip butty we accepted this and sat down with a drink. 20 minutes later the same barmaid served a couple with a full menu and was very rude when challenged on this. I stay in this place a lot but I don't think I will again. This woman should not be in a customer facing role.

The pub and staff were lovely, food at night was very good but breakfast was disappointing. However it was included in the price. It was just a let down after such a lovely evening meal. I was disappointed with the room, at first it looked lovely but it was only surface clean. We then realized it did not have curtains, just a Venetian blind that let the light in. With a bright moon and outside lights this this led to not much sleep. The blind was also thick with dust. A pair of curtains would have made this room.
For the money it was as expected, you pay your money you take your choice. However I would pay more in future to have a good night's sleep.

Bedroom large with dark wood furniture. No wifi in room but good in pub. Clean sheets and good towels. 2 radiators to keep room warm and can turn up or down. Lighting is poor. Bedside lamps fine but main ceiling light is weak so not enough light in the room. Carpet in room old fashioned but looked clean. Very good breakfast.

Jess was friendly ~ Ben wasn't. room room 7 dilema

we arrived at 8.30, thankfully we'd eaten as they stop serving food at 8. we had to go into a very busy bar and book in, Jess behind the bar was very friendly but couldn't find the room key, she tried to ring the manager & the cleaner but to no avail.
she then said she had a twin room, but we didn't want a twin we had ordered a double, so she found us another room... 2 and shew us up..... this is where it went downhill very quickly, the room was freezing as no heating was on, not good in Dec.
there was an oil heater so we plugged that in, and put the kettle on for a cuppa.
had a look about, there was mould on the skirting board, a plug socket was hanging off the wall the bathroom was very tired to say the least with more mould.
after about 1/2 hour i said to the wife i'm going to see if there's a different room as i wasn't happy with the condition.
i spoke to Jess again who said they had lost the key to our original room but she had a twin and we were welcome to have a look and see if we wanted it, we could push the beds together.
a few minutes later there was a knock at the door and Ben the manager was there with the original room key no 7, OH NO we'd read reviews about this room, there is an emergency light that is so bright you don't need the main light on, i commented on it and was told very bluntly it is fire safety and nothing can be done, bad move bud that's my business fire safety and i know you can get a light without the green led.
the room itself was ok tho,

On the plus side, the staff couldn't do enough to help, the food was amazing, the breakfast full of flavour. We had a good laugh with the staff and will be returning again as soon as we can.
