Amazing experience
Pros:

The property was in a good location with plenty of car park. The staff was amazing, we were late due to my boyfriend’s flight and they were very accommodating, they were friendly and welcoming. The room itself had everything in, with welcoming water, a sleeping pack, and plenty of choices between hot drinks and a few packs of biscuits. They also provided emergency contact numbers, 4 or 5 different people that could help if needed. Breakfast was included and had a set menu to choose between 5 dishes and then a section which had cereals, drinks, toast and croissants. It was really cool to have a pub downstairs!

Cons:

The only slight issue was the shower which was quite small and especially difficult to move in.

If I had only been staying one night I would have given 10 out of 10. Disappointed 2nd evening
Pros:

Pub, food and entertainment all under one roof. Generally the staff were very accommodating and friendly.

Cons:

Asked for room to be turned over and never happened. Breakfast the 1st day excellent, helped that the staff were good and made us a latte. Breakfast 2nd morning, filtered coffee only as told coffee machine broken! Pancakes either overcooked or left under heat as couldn’t cut top 2 very well.

Modern Spicy Shipping Room
Pros:

Das Zimmer war modern und sehr schön eingerichtet. Das Bett war ausgesprochen komfortabel, und die Größe des Zimmers war angenehm und völlig ausreichend. Besonders praktisch waren die hauseigenen Parkplätze.

Cons:

Die Bedienung im Pub bringt manchmal nicht genau das, was man bestellt hat. Aber das Frühstück ist trotzdem traditionell englisch und schmeckt gut.

Lovely stay and a cosy bed with amazing breakfast
Pros:

Lovely room and very comfortable for the night and the breakfast was lovely.

Cons:

It was a lovely stay and very friendly helpful staff however it’s quite noisy on the main road and on entering the room my son noticed words had been carved into the wall by his bunk bed and there was a lot of scuffs which weren’t great and we were unfortunately awoken around 7am by a very loud alarm which we initially thought was fire alarm and prepared to go downstairs but realised was the building alarm which was a bit of a shock!
I would recommend this lovely little place though so close to bowleaze cove which is really lovely for an evening drink and the staff were lovely and accommodating,I think if a few things were tweeted I certainly would stay again and would be happy to pay more,it’s in a lovely area and so close to everything :)
