Great staff, clean room but bring a pillow!
Pros:

Staff were excellent and super clear explaining everything. The room was very clean.

Cons:

I didn’t realise the toilet and showers were shared and I struggled to work the showers. The bed was really uncomfortable to the point I got a bad headache the next day - definitely request another pillow if you get the opportunity!

Relaxed, with a good pint.
Pros:

Booked as a last minute budget weekend away to go walking, to land in a good pub 2 minutes from the town centre with a great selection of real ale was a win win. Spotless, surprisingly quiet for a town pub the team are welcoming and helpful.

a real ale drinker's dream!
Pros:

room was nice, clean, showers plentiful. this is one of the best pubs in nottingham or even further afield for real ale drinkers. so many lines! the very well priced rooms are a bonus for sure.

Cons:

one shower didn't seem to heat up, not a major issue but something to look at maybe!

It was ok for a overnight trip
Pros:

The window in my bedroom was very very small and it could not be opened very much so the room was very very hot all night

Cons:

The parking was up the road from the pub in a nearby hotel

Nice quite tidy room with all the basics required(bit noisy when the window was left open by traffic
Pros:

The room was very clean and tidy for the price nice to see coffee and tea making facilities and a small fridge and towels overall a present stay for the money

Cons:

The door handle/lock mechanism didn’t want to open initially but did after a couple of attempts due to excessive play.toilets could do with a little TLC broken tiles on the floor boxing in by sink flaking plaster on the landing (tried not to be to critical as property maintenance and refurbishment was my business)
