It was a fun place to stay, interesting.
Pros:

The beds were very comfortable, and the linen was good quality, soft and fresh.
We were glad that we were down the corridor away from the Karaoke! However, arriving back from our evening out, we decided to look in, everybody was having such fun. One could tell they were all locals, young and old, all enjoying a good evening out together. It was great to see. And the bar was good value!! And in the reception, a bookcase full of books, a great bonus.

Cons:

We didn't eat there. It wasn't our sort of menu, anyway we were going out for a reunion with old friends.

Pros:

Receptionist was lovely and very helpful

Cons:

Beds and pillows to hard for me. Bathroom could've been cleaner but was usable. The toilet was full of limescale at the bottom and bath was streaky and the plug hole looked really dirty and rusty

Great value and location. Staff superb.
Pros:

Excellent staff in hotel, bar and restaurant. Being a Green King meant good food and drink at reasonable prices. Free on site parking a big bonus. Rooms clean and functional with tea coffee free. Cleaning staff very pleasant and efficient.

Cons:

Nothing. However Greene King app needs to specifically double check table number before finalising order as stays on last table number.
