Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Arrived at 3pm to find the place closed with a steel shutter closed on the inside of the main door
Pub had a scruffy exterior which when added to the lack of activity and no signs of life gave the impression it was abandoned.
The fact it is isolated in the middle of nowhere didnt help either. A solo female traveller would have felt v vulnerable
Even the taxi driver wasn't convinced it was a good idea to stay hereamdlnd hung around for 10 mins in case I needed him to drive me somewhere else.
Peering through the windows on the canel side proved that rooms were made up and ready, if I could get into them
After reading the fine print I called the contact number and after no reply at first I received a call back explaining that the pub wasn't open until 5pm on a Monday but accommodation could be reached by going through the 'Private No Access gate' and going through into the accommodation block
Access to room via accommodation block acess looked tired and needed painting and a new carpet.
Room itself was also dated and needed painting and a new carpet. It was small but functional. Bedroom furniture look dated
Bathroom v small and v hot. Shower ok and water hot but sealant around shower tray showing signs of black mold and there was also debris around outside of shower tray.
Room was overly hot when heating was on but cool when it wasn't and there wasnt a way to control the heating. Portable fan /cooler didn't work.Returned from my event around
10 to find pub shut and lockedup
