Cosy stay in a nice pub on the outskirts of Sheffield, close to countryside
Pros:

Friendly staff and reception, cosy room, nice decor, lovely toiletries in the bathroom, great English breakfast, we liked our balcony too.

Cons:

There was a bit of traffic noise in the location by the road, which was quite busy. Our room and bed were quite small, but I think it’s possible to book a larger room

Pros:

Nice location and free car park

Cons:

After midnight, I had difficulty finding the correct entrance to the building. I had to walk around to the back of the building, where the area was dark and there were no clear signs or directions showing where to enter.

Beforehand, a staff member informed me that I should use the entrance at the back of the building, but the instructions were not detailed enough. I was not informed that I needed to use the fire exit route as the entrance after midnight.

When I returned from the pub after midnight, I had to search around the building to find the way in. There were no clear signs or directions displayed to guide guests, which made it confusing and inconvenient, especially during nighttime when visibility was poor.

I would recommend that the hotel provide clearer signage and more detailed instructions for guests arriving after midnight to ensure safety and avoid confusion.

Old fan: loud noise during the night

Very disappointing
Pros:

Main meals were lovely

Cons:

Breakfast very disappointing, whatever you had off the menu was the same price. The room very small, we were kept awake by music coming from the kitchen.
We received our meal on the Sunday but had to ask for cutlery.
