It’s an okay place overall, but when the staff asked twice—once after we’d eaten and again when paying—if everything was okay with our meal, we mentioned that the Guinness tasted off and that the barrel likely needed changing or the pipes cleaning. We couldn’t drink the pint and left it almost untouched, so it was clear we weren’t trying to get a freebie. The only response we received was, “Okay, sorry to hear that.” I would have expected a replacement drink or a refund given that it was undrinkable. We also overheard another table saying their breakfast wasn’t good, and again they only received an apology with no offer of an alternative or partial refund. It makes me question the point of asking for feedback if nothing is done with it.

Car park is small, but there is parking on the street so not a problem. Check in was quick and easy, but you do have to fill in a pre-booking breakfast form. Room was good, clean and well maintained, bathroom was small

Check in was awful. Girl lacked enthusiasm, lacked customer service skills in our interaction with her. No offer of assistance, even though I was struggling to move around with my walking stick and watched as I struggled to carry my bags up the stairs to my room.

Dissapointing

Room was clean but small, far too hot turned everything off but still like an oven. Was in the separate building and as you walked through the door smelt damp. Service in the morning was not good, rang the bell 4 times and when someone eventually came proceeded to keep serving others while I stood there. Ended up not having breakfast due to this and would not use this hotel again. Over priced for the experience and disappointing. Booked due to good reviews so hopefully an isolated experience.

Nice room let down by a dripping toilet

Nice clean comfy room, well specced with nice decor, however I booked a room with bed and seperate sofa bed but the room I was given was not this. It just had 1 king size bed. The whole stay was let down by a dripping toilet in the bathroom which went on all night and kept me awake. Very annoying.
