It was convenient to the even the were attending
Rooms were small and windows were locked. It was very hot. Staff were not particularly friendly or professional. Hot water in bathroom was exceptionally hot with no warning. No checkout or staff present at checkout at 1030 am.
La vibe, el bar abajo, el personal y la localización
Había un ruido Audi en el baño del extractor que fue un horror. Casi no pude dormir
Great location for a party we were going to.
Room very small and dark
Bed very small
Bathroom very small
The room was clean.
The window couldn’t be closed. It was very noisy from the road outside. The curtains didn’t cover the window so it was very light very early in the morning. The bathroom is quite old and the shower very noisy. The sliding door didn’t close properly. The property requires check out before 11 am. After getting up at 8 am and looking for someone to maybe ask for a coffee. No one was found. We waited until 10:30 and still there was no one around. We finally just left the keys and drove off. Very odd.
The staff. The location.
Beginning to look a little tired and unkept. This is the 4th year I've stayed. The back garden hasn't been mown. No weeding has been done. Real shame as doesn't look good. My room wasn't cleaned all week either. The shower is revolting and needed a clean. The room locks on the doors still need replacing. Loud mouth drunk in the pub on Friday night.
Friendly staff,good food,lovely room,very pet friendly and plenty of parking.
Hotel was great, rooms was very well presented, nice size and perfect for two nights. Staff were super friendly. Food in the pub was incredible, probably best pub food we've had for ages.
Room was clean but the shower wasn't - it really needs a deep clean, especially behind the doors once you are in the shower.
Loved the staff, the food the room and location. A very good large enclosed back garden which is a suntrap.
The shower needs a bit of an over haul.
Beautifully decorated room. Comfortable bed.
Very well stocked tea tray. Clean room
The staff were very welcoming and friendly.
I enjoyed an exceptional meal. Veg mushroom pie, mash and veg.
Keep hold of all the staff and chef!
Great experience all round !
All good
The food was lovely and the staff welcoming.
Friendly and helpful staff
Comfortable room. Nice food. We’re able to accommodate our expensive bicycles, bringing them in doors overnight.
Excellent food
Difficulty with lock on bedroom door
Gorgeous setting, lovely room and great food and service. The staff were amazing.
Staff were very pleasant and the bed was comfortable.
Bathroom was very cramped.
The breakfast menu was very limited
Better windows needed as the road noise was intrusive.
Very comfortable room and bed, excellent breakfast
The location was ideal. I was at an event near by.
This place is poorly run. The staff were nice people but overall is was not what you would expect from any accommodation.
For the food, I ordered a salmon, potatoes and vegetables. The dish came without potatoes. When I asked where the potatoes were, she told me that they hadn't been delivered that day. She didn't tell me that when making the order or when bringing the food out. So, I asked for chips instead, which they were able to do. These were added to the bill as an extra cost.
The salmon wasn't cooked through, 1/3 of it was raw. Salmon shouldn't be served raw, it can contain parasites.
I booked here for 3 nights. When I checked in, I was just handed a key with no explanation of anything, no one showed me to my room.
When I got back at 11:45 one night, the whole place was closed. I couldn't get in. I had to shout at one of the windows. Thankfully, one of the staff who probably lives there was able to let me in. She explained that one of the keys works for the fire exit at the back. I wasn't told this on check in.
The second day that I went down for breakfast at 8am. No one was there, I couldn't find anyone in the whole pub. Other people had left their keys on the counter and checked out. It didn't look like they had done breakfast for anyone that day.
There was a bit of a smell in the bathroom and the shower drain was partially blocked, the water wasn't draining properly.
I decided to check out early and go home. I didn't stay in the final night that I had booked.
I slept reasonably well. I could hear the other guests opening and closing their doors at 6am. My door was too wide for the frame and had to be pushed quite hard to close it.
I wouldn't stay here again. This place isn't run properly. There are that many issues, I'm sure that the people running it are aware of it.
everthing!
