Staff were excellent and friendly. Pub was welcoming and inviting. Breakfast cooked to order and very nice. Now for the room. No5 a bit dated but spacious. Bed was very firm but could feel every spring in the mattress. Shower pressure abysmal and scalding to start. Had to use a lot of force just to get the dial round to get the cold water flowing and still low pressure. Some say adds character, I’d say it lacked comfort.
Bed was very hard and could feel every spring.
Tv only worked when you jabbed the remote.
Shower pressure abysmal and regulator difficult to move.
Dated decor

Had previously read the reviews for the hotel and decided to give it a go. On arrival friendly welcoming. Got to room, smelt a bit of smoke. TV the size of a small PC monitor. Outside light on all night lighting up the room even with curtains closed. In the morning no heating until 0645. Tried to have a hot shower, no hot water despite running water for 5 minutes.

Good breakfast but otherwise disappointing. Had it been a £65 a night offer I would have considered it fair but £95 should produce a better offer. The room was tired and there were possible safety issues with electrical cables routed around and over the (very hot) radiator.

Not bad

The hotel was a very old coaching house so lots of beams and features. Bedrooms were good nice size but our bed was hard so by the time we left it was ok. Shower really only for very very small people. Food fantastic very good portions and hot at all times. Staff very friendly and helpful. It does have parking but very small entrance and spaces only for about 4 cars. We had an issue with the door lock to our room staff could open it but we had trouble couldn’t get in or out had really be forceful. Decided we wouldn’t stay again but would probably go there for food. The hotel is on a one way street but traffic wasn’t a problem during the night. Some of the clientele were interesting but it looks like it is the only pub in the town. Very dog friendly too.

Terrible place

I booked this hotel on the premise it was rated as being excellent. It is not. It’s one of the worst hotels I’ve stayed in for service. We booked in and given a key to a room. We had to disturb the bar staff to ask where the room is and make our way to find it. The room was basic but clean. The mattress was full of jutting out springs (!) the furniture must have come from a junk shop as it was old, tatty and mismatched. No towel rails & had to ask for a hair dryer. Very thin walls. Breakfast advertised between 7 & 9 am. Waited in vain for 15 minutes from 7.00 but no staff in sight. There was no one around. Car park is a narrow alley with 4 spaces, filled with vans. No room for residents.

An old English local pub/hotel. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. Nice evening meals. Suited my needs of 'a bed for the night'. The room was clean with TV, kettle, tea, coffee and milk.

Staff were helpful and friendly, evening meals we had were good and reasonable priced. Room was clean but beds mattress were lumpy … could feel the springs almost pocking through. The shower was poor with only a trickle of water. Am afraid the breakfast didn’t live up to the evening meal, there wasn’t even a breakfast menu, no cereals or fruit juice etc , no toast and sausages were like cardboard,egg was under cooked , but at least it wasn’t over priced .

Quirky

Lovely little ‘quirky’ hotel. The owners were delightful and very helpful. Food was delicious. I did find the stairs to the room quite a challenge due to osteoarthritis, but mobile people wouldn’t find this an issue. The room was adequate and serviced daily. The was a tv - the fact that I could only get one channel at a set volume added to the overall experience. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room were replenished daily. Bathroom was small and could do with a touch of paint, but did what it needed to do. I could have done with a chair in the room, but there probably wasn’t enough space for one. Overall I enjoyed my stay and the little eccentricities of the place added to its charm.
