Pros:

Lovely pub and restaurant.
Room lovely and clean but didn't need a disabled bathroom and extra lighting that was bright in room at night.
Large family group staying next to us, who had early morning meeting in hallway and no soft closing doors so quite noisy.
Staff excellent.

Pros:

The barman was very friendly & hospitable. The room comfortable but pillows rock hard & unconfortable. The furniture in the upper bar area was ripped & torn and meals rather over priced (£20 for a beefburger). We booked the hotel attend a 25th Wedding Aniversary & on our return at 10.45pm expecting to get a nightcap drink the bar and reception were locked & in darkness. The main entrance was padlocked shut & a fire hazard. There were two staff members we asked to see if we could obtain a drink to which we received a resounding no. The hotel was full with many other guests attending the same event returning to no open bar. In the morning we raised the issues with the receptionist who just said we close the bar if theres no one in. A bit of nous should tell that if the hotels full people would be returning. Not a good experience

Pros:

We stayed to visit family who live locally, so spent very little time at the Hotel , just to sleep really. Check in was good, the young woman was efficient and helpful, and we were lucky to be able to check in early, thanks to the Housekeeper telling her it was ready. Room was comfortable, reasonably spacious, tea tray , nice bathroom etc as you'd expect, and all was spotlessly clean.
We didn't use the bar or restaurant, but all areas looked very comfortable and tasteful. Would definitely recommend.

Good restaurant let down by overpriced poor hotel
Pros:

For £120 I was expecting a top class hotel instead I had to hunt for my room which was located very close to a busy road and had no ventilation, relying on windows opening and hence letting traffic noise and pollution in. The kettle had a faulty switch and the facilities basic.I wanted porridge and scrambled egg for breakfast was told that a) they had no porridge and b) I wouldn't have been able to have it as well as the cooked breakfast. Evening meal was excellent though.

Excellent Quiet and Clean
Pros:

Regular visitor. Always clean, friendly staff, lovely rooms and great food. Only minor criticism would be that there is typically only one staff member on breakfast/check-out which can mean a few minutes waiting, but other than that, an excellent place to stay !

Pros:

Excellent value stay, much better than one of the bigger chains at this price point.
The rooms were spacious and clean, our only frustrations were the car park flood lights which shone into the bedroom through the night, and then the early morning food delivery that was unloaded just outside the bedrooms. But I think we were just unlucky on both.
The staff were really friendly and the breakfast included in our rate was first class. Will definitely stay again
