The staff where very helpful the room was clean and fresh linen eveyday but the room needs a bit of work the floor was very squeaky the toilet door wouldn't stay shut or lock and the hot water tap didnt work.
Not really worth what i payed for each night.
En-suite , comfortable, above a pub so can be lively with enjoyment from visitors. Free onsite parking. Tea facilities but no fridge. Breakfast not included.
Had we seen the room before paying we would not have stayed. Room was basic, poor quality and decoration tired. It reminded me of youth hostels I used to stay in in the 1990’s.
We stayed in a family room for one night. The room was decent size. The bathroom was small but the shower was good. The lady who checked us in was very friendly. The bar is nice too. There is a lot of noise from the bar until after 11pm, which we were warned about, and it was a Saturday so to be expected!
The room was dirty and beds where uncomfortable
The beds seamed broken
Shower was just full of mould and cheap furniture plus carpet not hooverd .
Staff where freindly
But i wont stay again .

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Strange noise
Staff were welcoming
Space to park
Room was clean
Plenty of towels
Window was wide open to took a little while to warm up
A good night's sleep until about 6am when there was a strange ticking noise (possibly the heating) that stopped me falling back to sleep
Great pub. Lively atmosphere. Live music is still quite loud in the rooms until finish time 10/.30/11pm(?). If not your thing may be best to check if there is any music planned for the night of your stay. (My stay was Saturday night)After hours area is very quiet. Limited on site parking at the rear with narrow bays. Additional free parking on the road without issue. Food is available but I gather the kitchen keeps variable hours so if you intended to eat there may be best to check first
Not clean. Didn't say as other members of the party checked in and out in a moment as it was so un clean with beds that looked slept in covered in hairs. The decision was made to not stay.
