Good pub but not for overnight stay
Pros:

Breakfast and staff

Cons:

Mattress very poor. Very noisy guests, late at night and early morning (3am). Is their a noise policy... ie quiet after 11pm?

Cons:

It was a horrible experience when we were turned away when we were checking in, on a claim that it was already fully booked even though we had secured the booking much earlier on booking.com. It came across as they didn’t like the look of us

Lovely staff, but premises dirty and scruffy and carpets should be replaced . Wasted potential.
Pros:

Staff lovely, bedding and towels spotless. Tea and coffee tray with biscuits was a nice addition as well as a bottle of water .Soap shower gel and shampoo provided .no hairdryer .
Meal at dinner was good value and breakfast choice was adequate the next morning.

Cons:

Carpets filthy especially in the bar area , large spillage stains all over them , dining tables sticky to the touch and needed re varnishing. Dog running free around dining room and elsewhere with doggy soft toys left lying around the floor causing a trip hazard. Doors not clean. Could do with a complete overhaul. Wife’s breakfast of poached eggs on toast were overcooked and inedible. Very limited parking for 4 vehicles and very tight spaces. It was so bad we left a day early, having paid for the night we left. The only mirror in the bathroom was placed so high it was impossible to use . The toilet seat was broken in that it moved everytime it was used .
