Lovely little spot
Pros:

Lovely little pub. Food and service was great. Rooms were nice and clean but could do with a fresh coat of paint, however rooms were nicely decorated. Staff were very friendly. Great breakfast

Pros:

I can't comment on service as all I needed was a bed and a shower - I was arriving late and leaving early for all of my three night stay so had no interaction after picking up the room key.
The lock on the room door was old-school Yale type, but ill fitting, so had to slam door to close it. Almost broke the key trying to reopen.
First night, noise from downstairs bar was distracting. Luckily, subsequent nights were quiet.
Dead flies next to kettle.
Supplied WiFi password out of date
No cold water!
Shower door rollers would easily fall out of their rails.
On the plus side, I found the bed comfortable enough and the shower itself was fine (once I'd reseated the rollers)

Pros:

Washbasin broken/unusable. No toiletries.
Also, Very loud music until 1am when I got dressed and went downstairs to complain.
Partial refund promised next day but despite numerous phone calls to manager it was not received until over a month later, after I had spoken to Expedia (who were very helpful - thanks) about the delay.

Pros:

My stay for a couple of nights on a local course found the room basic but serviceable. However, certain aspects stood out. The mattress had significantly lost its spring, providing a rather firm sleeping surface. The room door's lock rattled noticeably with any breeze, showing clear signs of prior damage or attempted entry. Furthermore, ventilation was an issue; leaving the window closed resulted in a distinct, stale atmosphere, making an open window essential for comfort.

Not good……
Pros:

Words fail me......horrendous !!!

Very Dirty rooms

It is basically a locals drinking pub, with a few rooms upstairs that are not cleaned, would not return !


Staff are just interested in the local business not tourists !

Small pub with rooms above, worth going to.
Pros:

Staff are helpful and accommodating. My wife's gluten-free diet means it is sometimes awkward to get meals in some places. They sorted it out for us.

Pros:

Unfortunately I ended up in the wrong property. I was expecting to stay at the Holystone Premier Inn but I was booked in to the Holystone bar and restaurant. I had requested a ground floor room but there were no ground floor rooms. When we taken to our room I was disgusted with the state of it. First of all there was no heat, the carpet and walls were filthy. We stayed the one night but checked out and moved to the Premier Inn for our second night. I would like a refund from you for the second night. Thank you.

Don’t bother!
Pros:

It was shut when we arrived! They shut early because they had no customers and didn’t think to even let us know. We had to find another hotel after a 5 hour drive. Then they REFUSED to give us a full refund, only partial!
