Paid top rate and expected very much better. Very disappointing.
Pros:

In general food was fine ( although no brown bread available for prawn sandwich Friday lunch or for toast Sunday breakfast). Staff were pleasant but very inexperienced.

Cons:

No TV (all rooms) apparently an aerial problem, came on again Saturday night but off again Sunday morning. Wi-Fi dropping out continuously. Apparent mould/damp patch emerging through recently painted wall in room? Badly creaking door hinges on bathroom door created night disturbance - no remedy available to fix. Tea,coffee,water facilities not replenished on 2nd day. Car Park liberally covered with potholes, some dangerously deep. No maintenance staff/resource to deal with issues.

The room was clean, overpriced for what was offered. Staff need to have customer service/hospitality training . The
Pros:

Lovely breakfast at the Local deli over the road

Cons:

Poor communication from staff in pub or any info in the room. The room was outside in the carpark, had to ask about Wi-Fi, there wasn’t any. Had to ask about breakfast, told over Road in deli at 10.30am, in fairness this was the best element of the stay. On leaving the room at 11.30am , the pub was locked, no where to leave room key. Went into the kitchen and left it with the chef. Had a phone call at 7pm that evening asking where the key was? Told we should have followed instructions and left it in the room door, no information verbal or otherwise. There was a party in the pub, when we returned later in the evening the large carpark was full. We had to park in the village , reserved parking for residents would be an improvement. Thought I was booking a room in a country pub, in reality it was a room in a carpark totally detached from the pub in all elements of the stay

Pros:

Friendly staff, great food, comfortable bed

Cons:

Lack of attention to detail. I was leaving at 6:30 am and was a little annoyed to find that, whilst there was plenty of milk and sugar, there was no coffee or tea in the room. I would still go again- mistakes happen

I really enjoyed my one night stay as a solo traveller!
Pros:

A cosy and comfortable ensuite room, well stocked with a tea/biscuit selection and a coffee machine. The food (I had an evening meal and breakfast in the pub) was tasty and of a good standard. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating.

Pros:

Very disappointing, no hot water in bathroom sink no toilet lid no shower curtain or screen so water covered the floor badly had to mop up with towels. Big gap in front door at top .
Stayed two nights and room was not cleaned so hence no clean towels. When we reported no hot water was told use kettle. Room was not cheap either. Breakfast was good and breakfast staff excellent. Would not go back sorry.

Pros:

Checked in later at 8pm, before a pleasant evening meal.
Suprised at the huge bathroom, probably almost the size of the bedroom, with freestanding bath, walk in shower, and double basin. Nice and soft double bed, with plenty of choices of pillows cushions and blankets. Room was spotlessly clean.
Lovely range of breakfast items in the morning. All staff were friendly and welcoming too.
In a convenient location on the A59 to head north into the Yorkshire Dales.

Great pub to stay at
Pros:

We stayed at the white bull for 2 nights while attending a wedding locally. Staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. We had room 6 which was large with a king size bed, very comfortable, the room was largewith a large bathroom. Complementary tea, coffee nespresso machine , hot chocolate, biscuits and still and sparkling water were available in the room. Plenty of storage drawers and wardrobe. Also 2 chairs. The windows were a little tired looking but all furnishings were obviously fairly new and clean. Breakfast was very substantial, with lots of choices, we had cooked breakfasts. Food is available from.lunch time onwards. We ate there one evening and was good.
As we were going to be returning after hiurs we were given thelandjadies number to call and she just let us back in. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you if we're in the area afain we'd definitely return.
