Spacious room and bathroom (located in converted stables behind the pub) with TV and plentiful tea/coffee supplies. Wifi connection a bit limited in the room, but excellent in the pub itself. Friendly staff.

A business colleague of mine checked in prior to me and couldn’t stay at the hotel, due to smell of dogs and pet hair in the room. We had to find another hotel and have requested a refund.

The high point of this property is definitely the staff, who are lovely and helpful. It's also a very short walk to the centre of town, which is great. Unfortunately the room itself was simply okay - cracked skylight, bathroom sink light not working, no window for ventilation. I'd likely loocfor something else next time im in town.

Ok, but lacking in many features.

Room was clean and spacious, but beds uncomfortable with broken springs. WiFi not available in the room. Advertised free breakfast was not included. Very tiny car park. Friendly staff.

No breakfast (apparently the chef had died), no hot water from the tap in the bathroom, too few parking spaces, the teaspoon in the room looked like someone had eaten a boiled egg with it and hadn't washed it -- but it was cheap, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

A night on a cold winter day with snow

I stayed just for one night on a cold day with snow. The owners are very friendly, I enjoyed the evening in their pub. The room was clean with a narrow window blocked by a blind and felt very claustrophobic. The wifi BT open network in the room worked for an hour the longest, then needed re-setting every hour, it was also unsafe to use. I waited several minutes for hot water, but could not get even warm water in the sink. The towel rail fell down. I was glad that booked there only for one night.

Was advertised for Breakfast and it was cancelled. Had a fan noise keeping me up for the first night of stay. ASked about breakfast and was asked to get a partial refund and was offered £5 for 2 people over 2 nights. So, cost us £40 extra and we got £5 when we asked for a refund. we paid over 200 for 2 nights. other hotels are better in that area.

Dissapointing stay

On arrival we thought it would be a good place to stay as the courtyard was nice with pretty potted plants that looked well cared for and secure gates but as soon as we opened the door it was very suddenly apparent it wasnt. The room stank of cigarette smoke and overall appearance was shabby. We had to keep the windows open for the entirety of the stay to try and get rid of the smell as it was quite overwhelming at first. The overall cleanliness of the room also left little to be desired. We looked in the bathroom and was shocked to find it filthy. The toilet was absolutely disgusting with fecal matter in the bowl of the toilet and on the seat. We mentioned this to staff and it was partially cleaned (toilet not shower) but we should not have been given the keys in the state the room was in. Very dissapointed with the stay as previous reviews are good but our experience was far from that. We actually ended up leaving at 7am and showered at our family's home as the shower was still not clean despite the request and we did not feel happy staying any longer than we had to or using the facilities provided. We won't be returning which is a shame as we have family in the area and visit regularly and the property was very convenient to where we wanted to be. We also won't recommend to others. We feel the room was very overpriced for the standard we received.

Disliked: Amenities
There was no kitchen - so no food . We were unaware of this until we arrived. Our first stay was comfortable, but our return stay a week later was not so good. Our mattress was obviously upside down so we were lying on springs just under the surface! We didn’t work this out until the morning - staff were very apologetic. No parking issues. No information about Wi-Fi. Friendly helpful staff, but the whole place is tired, and needs a thorough update.
