Staff really friendly and helpful. There were a few plumbing issues with the bathroom and the windows could have done with a clean, but otherwise the room was great and well provisioned with tea and coffee. A complimentary in-room breakfast was provided, which we weren't expecting. Would visit again.

What a great stay! The room was lovely, spacious, clean and really nicely decorated. The breakfast hamper was a lovely touch. The bathroom was massive and had a bath in it as well as a shower which was great. I really wasn’t expecting it to be so good as the price was low. We would definitely stay again.

Renovated room was very comfortable, and bodes well for the other areas of the hotel that are still rather tired.

Both the bedroom and ensuite were very clean. People were helpful and friendly. Within walking distance of shops, supermarket and several restaurants. The place was built several hundred years ago so has plenty of beautiful features in the pub.

The room was beautiful!! It’s recently been done apparently, and there was a lovely hamper and fridge with food and drinks included. The only issue was the shower wasn’t amazing and was hard to get to the right temperature. Otherwise staff super lovely to and great pub! Highley recommend - Lauren

Room was clean and spacious, no hanging space for clothes though? And we were in room 14 which was over a very noisy bar.

We were in one of the refurbished rooms which was vey clean, however there is obviously still some additions that are required in the main areas that look very drab and neglected. The heating in the bedroom was good but the en-suite bathroom had no heating at all and was so cold you didn't want to shower in there, the addition of some form of heating is needed here .A bin in the bathroom and some sort of shelf to put your own bits and pieces on would be useful.A mirror in the bedroom would be a good addition. The breakfast hamper and small chiller is a nice touch and was useful. Overall the stay was good and once the renovations are complete we are sure it will all look lovely.

6/10 Good

Stayed in Room 6 for 1 night. First the bad bits : Toilet had very slight weep from soil pipe at back that dribbled across the bathroom floor. TV didn’t work. Aerial disconnected and no way to join the 2 halves of lead. And no remote. Clearly had not been checked or tested. Very poor sound insulation between our room and next door. Could hear the tv, normal speaking voices quite clearly, and the snoring during the night!! The room is at the front of the building overlooking a junction. As it’s only single glazed it can be bit noisy with traffic. Didn’t bother me as used to traffic noise at home. Good bits: Staff very helpful and friendly. Bed was soft, comfortable and sheets clean. Room /bathroom clean. Pub itself very comfortable. Usual pub grub fayre bit limited but spicy chicken wings, fish & chips, sticky toffee pudding, hot and tasty. Though no cooked breakfast available, a croissant, small jar jam, and form of granola was in our room along with small bottle of milk in fridge. There was however, a cafe across the road that did an excellent cooked breakfast on a Sunday morning. We didn’t discover the bad bits about the room because we hardly spent any time in it until the night after the pub had closed. And because you let yourselves out and leave the room key in a pot by the door and the pub is closed, I couldn’t inform anyone of the condition of the room. Would I stay here again?? Possibly for 1 night

The room was good, clean and bed comfortable. There was a complimentary breakfast basket and refreshment facility. We were not informed that the restaurant was closed until with arrived and not on the website. Worth checking out beforehand.

Very friendly lady checked us in and showed us to our room, which was very clean and there was an actual bath in the bathroom, which is quite unusual these days! We didn’t expect breakfast, but there was a hamper containing continental breakfast, and a fridge with milk, water and orange juice. The kitchen wasn’t open on the evening we stayed, so we ate at The Prince of Kent Indian restaurant next door (which was also very good). The bed was comfortable and my only criticism was there was no mirror in the bedroom, but all in all, great value for money.

The accommodation was excellent 👍 Emma and Grace mother and daughter housekeeping team ( Emma is the housekeeper and excellent at her job)were both amazing and very accommodating, made our stay very comfortable, couldn't do enough for you and because of this we have booked again! However, the pub attached to the accommodation was closed till 3pm each day, we arrived on a Sunday and couldn't check in because the system doesn't work on Sundays? We were told to check in the next day at 3? You have to register your car on arrival, which we obviously couldn't do as no system..and apparently you have to do this every single day you are staying? Wth? We weren't told this until we were about to leave 5 days later 😤 not impressed, seems a little daft if you are staying in they're accommodation to have to check in at the same time each day? Surely they know how long we are staying? Everywhere else we have stayed, you book in and register your car on day 1..that's it, they know you are staying. On the note of the pub being closed most of the day, apart from Sunday there was no food available all week? They offer a breakfast hamper but there's a fab cafe a hop, skip and a jump away. The beers left a little to be desired but there is a pub just down the road. The WiFi was not very good, having said all this we will definitely stay again. I know that they are in the process of revamping the property but seems just a little bit overwhelmed. The staff are lovely.😊
