Pros:

The pub was nice and the staff were lovely. The man who checked us in was nice. The lady who went out of her way to help us and give us extra biscuits and coffee etc was lovely and pleasant to chat to. The room was really small which felt like a shock as it felt bigger in the pictures but it was cute so its ok.

Cons:

The bathroom floor was covered in dirt and hair. The shower was rusty. There was no soap at the sink. The windows were open so there was 3 massive spiders in the bathroom so we shut the bathroom door and had to use the main pub toilets all night. Every time someone moved upstairs you could hear it super loud and sounded like the ceiling was falling. Whenever someone had a shower or toilet it was really loud in the room. loads of cobwebs everywhere. The kettle had been stolen (repeatedly) so we had to ask for one and when we were shown the separate entrance (from inside) to use during the night, we weren't told how to get there from the outside. So when we came back at midnight we went through a back gate which led to a mess of glasses, mud, rubbish, a broken umbrella to climb over only to realise it was the wrong way. Springy uncomfy beds

Better than camping!
Pros:

This was the best located for 2 days work at Astwood Bank.
The shower worked, and maintained good flow and consistent temperature.
Access in and out was easy.
Loved the ceiling light, remote controlled for white and various coloured options.
Heating worked.

Cons:

TV didn't work for any freeview channels (lack of signal), and this wasn't addressed when it was reported.
The window in the room wouldn't latch closed, so was constantly open.
Breakfast was offered, and even booked, but then withdrawn because of lack of knowledge on restrictions.
Bed wasn't comfortable.
One bedside lamp did not work.
No bin in the room... just in the en-suite.

Cheap, clean and pleasant hotel in a key location for visiting local sites. Alcester excellent town,
Pros:

Great value for money, nice clean hotel, good room - good food (but not a great choice). Town and surroundings excellent, Alcester well worth a visit any time. Good location for a number of sites in the area, and much cheaper than towns such as Stratford and Warwick etc.

Cons:

I was offered breakfast, but no one was around to cook or serve it at 9am (I had not paid for it - so no loss). The remote controls for TV and heater did not seem to work - batteries may have run out).

Very pleasant, if we’re in the area, definitely would stay again.
Pros:

It was very clean, convenient location, staff were very kind and helpful, the room was a fantastic value for money. The bedding was very clean and very very soft which very comfortable. The bathroom shower was a decent size with shampoo and shower gel available. The food quality was excellent!

Cons:

The mattress was a spring mattress, so was slightly uncomfortable. The menu, some items weren’t available so when we went to order, we had to change what we were having, due to recent change of ownership. The heating was constantly on, so made the room very hot. Valve wasn’t working.

A cardbord box in the park would have been a better choice.
Pros:

Nothing. There is nothing going for the place – a definite no for anything good.

Cons:

Where do I start? broken, rotten windows that didn't shut properly. Faulty lights that continuously flicker, showers that run slower than my dead grandmother, crusty socks under the bedside, beds that are harder than the mortuary slab and make a sound like a drum when you move, TVs that are hanging off the wall that can only be seen when you're sat on the floor and dust thicker than a slice of super-toasty bread and finally Breakfast and evening meals are available 7 days a week if you class Thursday to Sunday as 7 days.

Not fully functioning.
Pros:

The room was warm, comfortable and well-supplied.

Cons:

The pub-restaurant appeared to be closed. Needed to phone the proprietor to check in, as the front door was locked (5pm). No breakfast available. Access to the rooms only via the fire escape, and the wrong keys originally supplied for access.

Cheap, not cheerful,, closed the whole time I was there
Pros:

Location was perfect, clean room

Good toilet roll

Cons:

On arrival, I was shepherded to my room which was ok. I had a shower and returned to the “restaurant” which was closed. It remained closed for the duration of my stay even though the sign on the outside says it’s open between 12-9.

Pros:

The bar and restaurant wasn’t open at all during the two day of our stay. Got there to it being in complete darkness and had to ring a mobile number for someone to check us in.
