Breakfast unavailable as we were leaving early. Room was clean and quite spacious even with extra bed for kids put in it. Main bed was huge, but the matress was uncomfortable, not supportive at all. Plenty of pillows, bedding was nice. Bathroom was very poor, floor looks like a public toilets floor, one of the taps was broken, shower had bits of black mould around the rim. Had dinner in the pub, on a Sunday night before Christmas, the menu was very limited, no festive options, unless pre-ordered. Being Martons pub, we were unpleasantly surprised there was only one ale available. Bar floor sticky, whole restaurant area had unpleasant smell. Food was taking forever to come out, to the point me and kids left the pub and went to our room, leaving husband behind to wait for their dessert to come. Food was nice enough, on a average side. Staff was very nice, that was the only positive.

Lovely meal in the evening. Friendly warm staff. Only thing I’d say is ask for a room at the hotels rear as road was quite noisy

Room was small and too hot for comfortable sleep. Bar food OK but nothing special. However, staff are brilliant, pub excellent and breakfast (and the lady who served it) very excellent! Location seems a nice and safe area too.

Great staff, tired venue

A good welcome from a busy team on a very busy Friday evening. All our interactions with the staff were excellent. Portion sizes were good and the food was presented well, with a smile and at a very fair price. What lets the place down is the decor including the bedrooms which are clean but tired and run down. Everything is functional but the venue is overdue an upgrade.

Bedroom was right near a busy road, windows had to be closed thus making the room hot and stuffy even with a fan. Bathroom was a little tired and the toilet didnt flush well plus shower base didnt flow away so flooded floor. Bed was missing a foot so we felt like our legs were higher than ourheads
