Very poor value and standards
Pros:

Bar man was nice as was the pub. Room was large.

Cons:

There was a large slatted blind with a 30cm square cut out and no curtains so no privacy for getting changed its on ground floor. Also woke up at 4am as sun streamed through. Smaller very musty. No water pressure. Bedding was Claen but the pillows were heavily stains and not completely inside cases. Very used mattress. Bar shut at 21:00. No internet. Wardrobe was broken and carpet very stained.

Nice idea to maximise the rooms in the pub but the accommodation needs a lot of work. The price of the room is not refle
Pros:

The location was good and staff were nice

Cons:

The room was not fit for purpose I am afraid. There was water damage/ mould on the walls that had been painted over. The beds (there were twin singles) which I could not see in the pictures on the app, the springs had completely gone so when you sat/laid on the bed you just sunk. There were cobwebs all around the room. It smelt very musty, everything like furniture and linen was tired. There was a strange noise like a fridge running or generator but there wasn’t one in the room. The bathroom was not very nice and I am afraid we could not stay there, we left.

Not disastrous, but frustrating
Pros:

The room was pleasantly situated in what had been a stable yard. It was decently equipped with the usual things and contained a very comfortable bed.

Cons:

The trouble began before I arrived. I phoned the number given for the hotel, but it turned out to be OYO central and the extension I wanted failed to answer three times. When I arrived I felt like an intruder, but the young barman was helpful. The room was dark and the bathroom spoiled by an inefficient toilet and lack of hot water. Finally, I asked what time the pub closed, was told 10.30 and came back at 9.30 to find the place in darkness.

Ok, for a sleep over, fairly cycle friendly.
Pros:

Good place for storing bikes and easy access no staircases. The room was compact, typical bathroom not too small. Bed ok.

Cons:

A converted stable house, but only a very narrow window high up the way (the building against a bank) so not much natural light. I encountered a huge spider several times :-o. There was a rather musty smelling wardrobe. The location is ok.
