Small room, but nice and central - good breakfast

We were in room six (I think), on the ground floor in the car park. It was a little noisy as the floorboards were very squeaky and there was a room above us. Also, there were no windows you could open and I like some fresh air. Finally on the downside, the bathroom door was very ill-fitting so was tricky to close and was in no way sound proof... On the plus side, the bed was comfy and it was good value for its central location. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was excellent. I wouldn't stay for long, as the room was very small, but for an overnight I'd come again.

Pub was nice, accommodation not. Room opened onto car park which was littered. Glass in door was damaged. 2 small windows in room overlooked a wall, in front of which was an old mattress & various bits of rubbish. Pillows were awful, lumpy & old. In the bathroom we had hot, cloudy water out of the cold tap when first turned on & both taps dripped. This was reported to management along with the fact that the shower water leaked from the bottom of the shower head, which was also impossible to move so had to remove it from the bracket to shower. Heated towel rail didn’t work. Only good thing about the room was that the bedding & towels were very clean and tea & coffee were provided, although the kettle had limescale in the bottom. Would never stay here again but would happily eat in the pub, food was great.

Great location, nice pub, great location welcoming and helpful staff, room quality was “ok” but decor was tired, chips, damage and dings, it looks like it could do at least with heavy duty decor maintenance or a revamp to be honest. Loud noises from the bins being emptied at 7am lost the “quiet” rating for us.

Brilliant! Best way to start the festive season

An unexpected fantastic stay after reading some other reviews. It was probably one of the busiest weekends being the last before Christmas and we had a warm and friendly welcome, excellent and very quick service. The food was fantastic, my steak was cooked perfectly and our room was so comfortable. Breakfast was also brilliant. This will be our first port of call when back in the area!

We felt very welcome at The Admiral Hornblower. Shauna checked us in and was so friendly and helpful. She was great behind the bar, too. And the next morning we were served by Alex, another lovely lady. The breakfast selection was varied and delicious. A fantastic stay – we will be back.

Great location

Great location and lovely accommodation. There were problems with getting a drink in the evening and service at breakfast both days was really slow. However the breakfast when it arrived was delicious! Hopefully these service issues can be sorted out
