The room was fabulous, beams and full of character. The bec was very comfy, especially the woollen blanket! There was a fair bit of dust around. The bath was grubby. The shower headwould not stay up. The menu for me was limited as I am a lactose intolerant coeliac but the chef did manage to conjure up a gluten free pizza base with vegan cheese, so full marks for him for effort!

We had booked for two nights, but we only stayed for one. I booked a twin room, but got one with a double bed and a single bed. The single bed was really uncomfortable, just a thin mattress over lumpy springs, so we couldn’t use it. The double bed was fine but the pillows were hard. The bathroom looked as though it had been refurbished, but the sink had a crack and the plug hole was dirty. The worst thing was the shower door. The plastic edging was filthy with green mould around the bottom. The pub was in need of refurbishment, the window frames were rotten and the stone floor behind where I was sitting had crumbled. The food was fine and staff were lovely. I would not go back and we left afte4 one night because nothing felt very clean.

We had an amazing stay. My friend and i took my daughter to harry potter studios, which was just 15 minutes away. The room was comfortable and clean, maybe just needs redecorating. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the food was great. The area around the hotel was beautiful, well looked after with a beautiful park and play area.

Quirky place. Lots more atmosphere than the usual chain hotels. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Usual creaky floorboards and dodgy plumbing you find in old buildings. Could use dimmer lights in the emergency “alway on” lights in the bedroom and double glazing to keep the town noise out.

Been using this pub/hotel since it was first opened by the mother and son combo, stepping over off cuts of carpet and other things on the snagging list to get the place up and running. Have been back many times to visit my daughter who lives just up the road but this visit was a disappointment. The place needs a refurb, doors don't close, furniture damaged and things like the wrong light bulbs used in some areas. All top off by a 45 minute wait for breakfast, shame really.

A lovely nights stay.
Lovely 1 night stay as part of a business trip. Staff very friendly, ate evening meal in the pub downstairs - a laminated menu but great tasting pizza! Breakfast included in the price was good size portions. All in all will stay again when next in the area.

Full of character and well worth a visit.
Lovely hotel and full of character. Makes a great change to the usual corporate clone hotels. Really friendly people and freshly cooked quality breakfast. It would be great if the fans in adjacent rooms could be replaced. They sound pretty ancient and are really noisy. As a light sleeper this makes it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.

I was expecting some noise as the property is a part of a busy pub in a popular area. There was no noise whatsoever. Check in was fuss free and casual. Comfy bed and decent shower.

Great little stay
We was greeted by a guy behind the bar. Saying we had a booking, he put a little sign out saying he would be back soon. He then took us to our room. My wife has walking disability. But, he just took his time and waited. Shame the weekend breakfast time was not before 8.30 am. But, the stay was still very good. even with window open, didnt hear much noise at all.

Lovely little place.
Recently stayed for a weekend with my wife. Stayed in room 4, which although it was compact it had everything you could need. Shower was amazing, bed was comfy and the air con/heating was perfect. The room was slightly dusty but not dirty, we wernt bothered by the dust, its an old building so expected it. Towels supplied along with teas, coffees, sugar and milk. Staff accomodated with everything we could need, english breakfast was lovely! Off the menu i cant recommend the steak sandwich enough!! Seperate entrance to the accommodation to come and go as we pleased which was nice. Could hear some noise from outside but i wouldnt say it was excessive and can hear other people walking around goin to their room but that is to be expected, nothing that would put us off staying again. Overall a great hotel to stay in, with lovely food & staff. Thanks for a great weekend.

Lovely hotel and staff, but in need of carpet wash
Lovely pub and hotel. The staff were very helpful and cooked breakfast and juices were good, although some plant-based milk would have been nice for cereals or coffee. Room was well prepared and mostly clean, but let down by the carpet - it was in dire need of a wash. Unfortunately I didnt have time to highlight to the staff directly during checkout. However I'd still recommend based on the character of the place and the excellent staff.

Good budget accomodation, great staff and breakfast, no fault of the hotel but sleep was challenging thanks to other inconsiderate guests deciding to have a very extended party in the hallways/nearby rooms in the very early hours of the morning.

We have stayed here a number of times in the past,when they had free on-site parking,which helped.Sadly,that has gone now. Pay parking is nearby and gives you a break between 6pm and 9 am. Room was good and breakfasts were hearty.
