Great company, great place to stay
Pros:

The Manageress Ells was amazing. Having recently recovered from a critical illness when She lost several stones in weight, she made us feel more than welcome, and was telling us how she was already turning the business around. Having only been there as joint manageress with her partner, her local regular customers confirmed this although the Brewery would only cover the costs of painting the walls and ceilings, telling her that She would have to do the woodwork and floor herself! When questioned she happily said Oh Well its better than nothing. The Girl is an inspirational and its a massive yes we would love to stay again when next in the area.

Cons:

Nothing

I'll book again next time I visit the area. Recommended.
Pros:

The Bird in Hand is a great little pub with recent new management. All the staff and regulars made me welcome.
The room was very comfortable with a fantastic view of the canal outside. A great night's sleep was had.
There was a good choice of drinks at the bar (I prefer ales, three of which were on tap with more to come from a local brewery I believe) and the atmoshpere was jolly.
Breakfast was excellent, cooked in front of me and a great way to start my day.

Not what we booked
Pros:

Lovely friendly welcome from Natalie. Clean fresh bedding and great large bath sheets. Did refund quickly when we complained.

Cons:

Poor communication not told the room wasn’t what we booked or no breakfast available.
Pub was completely shut up and in darkness when we returned just after 9pm, still locked when we went down for breakfast that wasn’t available. The Shower cubicle had limited opening. Shower was poor, thermostat temperamental and a dribble. Bed was awful, the most uncomfortable I have slept on in over 40 years of travelling.we checked out after one night and complained to Booking.com, there seems to be a disconnect between them and the venue

Perfect location
Pros:

Friendly and accommodating host. Situated in an idyllic setting on the canal, and with a canal view from the room window. The room was spotless, comfortable, with an ensuite, and private entrance. Would definitely recommend.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn't like.

Friendly, comfortable, clean and I enjoyed myself. Simple.
Pros:

I felt so comfortable, had a lovely evening in the bar and made some new friends. The new people that have taken over are so warm and friendly. The room was spotless and comfortable and to be fair for the price I paid far exceeded my expectations. They were so accommodating when I was hungry after being at a funeral all day and I’m a bit gutted I didn’t try one of the lovely cobs and pork pies in the fridge. I will definitely use this as my little place to stay when visiting family and friends in the area again. I get anxious and I loved it here, I was very comfortable and happy, even on my own.

Cons:

There’s nothing that I didn’t like to be honest. I certainly am not going to complain about what I got there. They’re ace.
