Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
didn't have breakfast, but evening menu was extensive, varied & v good
V old property so difficult to rate against a modern place, but we'd happily return
Excellent location, friendly staff. Comfy room spacious and a good shower. A few issues with the heating being noisy and on throughout the night also unable to open front window
Friendly staff, room clean and parking was safe and secure.

Only stayed for one night. Didn't get much sleep - noisy guests in the corridor and then there was a 7.30am fire alarm. Wouldn't stay there again, but would eat there and visit the pub. Staff were very nice and helpful.
Perfect ‘treat’ break … lovely pub/hotel. The weather was superb too! Room was everything we would put on a wish list (it was a great price on our budget so didn’t get church tower & high st views) but everything so easily walkable. Lots cafes restaurants but chose hotel as vg menu choice on a Sunday night! Thanks to all staff who were extremely accommodating & friendly. We will def visit again.
It was very convenient for chapel down wines where we had arranged a tasting and dinner. Parking was good.
The staff at the hotel were great.
We ate lunch there one day and dinner one night the food was very good and reasonable.
The cooked breakfast was excellent. My only criticism was the coffee there was only filter coffee available.
The floors were creaky and could hear the quests in the room above walking around and down pipe when they flushed the toilet.
If you were taller than 5ft 10in I would have difficulty in the bathroom, especially the shower.
Paint work was tried.
Old pub with rooms. Our room was on the second floor and was very hot. There was a fan but it was just moving the air around, obviously not the sort of building you can instal aircon. Decor was a bit mismatched but bed was comfortable and room was clean. Bottles of UHT milk are nice as you get more but the heat did not do them any favours. Breakfast costs extra and we had it on first morning, it was acceptable, the bacon was the best item.
Very old fashioned pub which I liked with a decent choice of beverages. The man who helped us check in and later serve us drinks was very helpful, polite and present. However I didn’t like or understand having to leave my card details and effectively a deposit for items that had been made available in the room. If you don’t trust people just don’t have them available. The other issue was the floor in the room which was very unsteady and the hotel and hotels.com should really add that somewhere when people are choosing. Whilst it was ok for us it definitely would not have been for others.
