It's a beautiful Inn with a lot of history. The restaurant was closed when we got there, and after a long journey, we really needed something. Our room was pretty small, and we had no way to walk around the room with our suitcases on the floor.

Needs to be shown better on the listing that the inn is un manned with no bar or food service. Had a small issue that was very quickly sorted out. Most likely will use again.

Though the property was clean and cosy, the lack of staff was somewhat of a shame. The bar and restaurant was also not open throughout the four nights of my stay, something that I was only informed of in the days leading up to my stay via the messaging service on the Hotels.com app.

This accomodation should not have been listed on hotels.com The property had no on- site staff presence. it only transpired that access to the room was by self service . It was only on day of booking informed that no breakfast and catering was available. Although the room was well equipped and clean it was felt damp and not good ventilation, the inn is very close to the road so suffered from heavy traffic noise when opening window, single glazed sash window was broken so had to be propped open . I don't know what had happened the place but gave the impression of neglect. Though it seemed to have been trading food up to very recently, this is lovely area and the inn obviously has potential but is not currently in a state to be listed as hotel accomodation and expensive for what it is and also an embarrassment to local tourism.

Room was clean, and nicely decorated in an old fashioned style with quirky art. Bed was clean and fresh if a bit soft. Dinner in the bar was quite nice, but service hours are vety short. We arrived 6pm as dinner was starting. We went out to an event, but the bar and restaurant was shut, and the building was all locked up when we arrived back just after 9.30pm. There were no staff.to check out with, and no breakfast offered.

Rooms were lovely and well decorated. Beds were really comfortable. The only downfall was dinner. We waited almost an hour for food and one meal arrived very cold. Shame as it looked good otherwise. The meal was removed from the bill.

I have passed the inn many times over the years and always wanted to stay . The photos online , pub with log burning fire , fantastic food . When I arrived no one on site pub lights on . Easy access to room which was lovely, read through the extensive and appetising menu , went down to find pub lights on but all locked up . Called the number to be told that they open at weekends. It was now after 7 , had to jump in the car and drive to nearby town , lots of fast food places an Indian Chinese restaurant. As a woman on her own I was looking forward to going down for dinner then back to my room . Came back again didn’t see a soul dark but pub lit up thank goodness. Not the stay I expected.

The room was clean and tidy. I do have to say though, wallpaper under the window is falling off and also in the bathroom on the ceiling above the toilet. The heated towel rail arm was also loose. Room also seemed a little small, not exactly expected for what was supposed to be a superior double room.

Location was good. Check in process was easy. The beds were comfortable. I don’t prefer to degrade but I also want to be honest though. The room was falling apart. There is obvious water damage. Drywall was falling off walls and ceilings. Several old patches. There was mold on the bathroom ceiling. The bed and bathroom were mostly clean, but the carpet was full of hair and probably hadn’t been cleaned in a while. There were several spider webs on the walls and stains on part of the comforters. Overall the place has got potential, but needs more attention to detail and overall maintenance. So, I’d only recommend it, depending what you’re paying for it.

Easy access to the road for our road trip. We were disappointed by the phone call trying to stress us about arrival time; it was 6pm, latest option was 8pm… Cleanliness was mixed; clean en-suite and very good shower. Major dust between me and the plug socket beside the bed for phone charging. Overall ok, would use again if passing.

The room was clean, comfortable and well furnished though possibly a bit cramped for 2 people. The heating warmed the room quickly but was very noisy. It's a pleasant quiet area but when there is any noise you can hear it, including anything happening in adjacent rooms. The stairs are very steep. It's a little odd having no staff on a desk, you just get a key from a lock box.

I've stayed in this property previously and found it to be much better then than during my recent stay, with it previously having had a restaurant/bar & staff on site. Since it was taken over, the restaurant/bar is no longer open and there are no staff on site (I was aware of this but it does make such a big difference to have the personal touch and somewhere to eat ). I was completely unaware that, on our first night, the disused restaurant had been hired out for a student event. This went on until around 10.30pm with live music and a door constantly banging shut every few minutes right below our room which was really irritating after a long journey. It would have helped if I'd been previously advised of this as would likely have booked elsewhere. On 2nd night we were woken by a loud engine noise around 11.15pm and looked out of window to see a tractor removing a large skip which had been at the back of the hotel building! The room itself was clean although could have done with an extra chair or a space in the hotel with somewhere to sit or even a small kitchen made available to replace lack of a restaurant. The daily housekeeping was very basic, with mugs/glasses being unchanged over the 4 nights of our stay, duvet put on wrong way around, ashtray outside in smokers area not noticeably emptied. The description also stated a garden, I'm assuming the outside smokers table was this. Overall it did the job but such a shame it has no current facilities or on site staff.
