Lovely stay!
Pros:

Good pub, cosy atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff - we have been a couple of times and really liked it especially the large private balcony in rooms 2 and 3. Room 2 seems to be the best overall.

Cons:

The only thing we didn’t like and we said before was the size of the bed. It appears to be a small double which doesn’t feel big enough for two people- if the beds were king we would have had no complaints whatsoever as it’s very clean etc

Great location, outside Sheffield that suited us perfectly to meet my wife’s old friend.
Pros:

We woke early (we live away from road traffic) so set off before breakfast at 0700. No problems with that!

The staff are all brilliant, kind and attentive! We particularly appreciated arriving just after 1300 and shedding our formal clothing!

Cons:

Perhaps the loose door handle could have been repaired earlier - my wife ended up locked in the room! The light in the doorway that is outside the bathroom woke my wife every time I trotted! Great idea for some, but I eat sufficient carrots - so can find my way in the darkest room!!

Cosy stay in a nice pub on the outskirts of Sheffield, close to countryside
Pros:

Friendly staff and reception, cosy room, nice decor, lovely toiletries in the bathroom, great English breakfast, we liked our balcony too.

Cons:

There was a bit of traffic noise in the location by the road, which was quite busy. Our room and bed were quite small, but I think it’s possible to book a larger room

Pros:

Nice location and free car park

Cons:

After midnight, I had difficulty finding the correct entrance to the building. I had to walk around to the back of the building, where the area was dark and there were no clear signs or directions showing where to enter.

Beforehand, a staff member informed me that I should use the entrance at the back of the building, but the instructions were not detailed enough. I was not informed that I needed to use the fire exit route as the entrance after midnight.

When I returned from the pub after midnight, I had to search around the building to find the way in. There were no clear signs or directions displayed to guide guests, which made it confusing and inconvenient, especially during nighttime when visibility was poor.

I would recommend that the hotel provide clearer signage and more detailed instructions for guests arriving after midnight to ensure safety and avoid confusion.

Old fan: loud noise during the night
