We had a great time here, I imagine it would be quite loud on weekends as its above a pub but it was fine midweek

The only thing we had a problem with was the plug in the bathroom sink becoming stuck nd also no hot water from the tap only the shower.

It was so cold, no heating. There was loud music from the pub till late which I didn’t mind so much but then there was a loud extractor fan (it was not the one that comes on when you switch the bathroom light on) that kept me awake most of the night. The room is in need of a deep clean and complete refurb, particularly the walls they had a lot of marks, there had been quite an obvious leak through the ceiling that hadn’t been repaired and there was also lots of black mould and scum in the shower. I did try to find another hotel but braved it for one night to save the money but if I knew how cold it was going to get I would have left when I had the chance. Overall it didn’t feel very safe either for a solo traveler, I would not recommend!

This is not a hotel, it is a room right inside a pub. It was noisy. Would not recommend for family.

Love it. Lovely staff, nice pub, lovely and clean room. I found the tiny horse in my room and I loved it... and of course I left it there! 😊 Only one problem: wi-fi doesn't work.

Overall a very good stay. Had no issues with noise or sleep. It's a room above a pub so I wasn't expecting a hotel experience or service. But I did expect it to be clean, which it wasn't. Bathroom needs a good scrub and dusting and the floors need to be hoovered at least.

Issues, sorted and great nights sleep Ok, so i had issues checking in but things go wrong and the staff were absolutely amazing. Issues sorted, kept informed, apologised profusely and kept me amused in the bar. Superb service. There is an outside staircase, little rickety but safe and leads to a roof terrace which is lovely. The room was clean, fresh, probably the most comfortable stay i've had in a long time. No noise from the pub but ill know more next week, yes im booking again. Thanks guys!
