Great value pub and food offer a good choice , rooms tired
Pros:

Great value for money , pool table darts board and a good range of beers made a massive difference from the chain hotels we stay in for work.

Cons:

Rooms are tired and overall a lick of paint would make a massive difference

It was a last-minute booking, so that was why the price was high. I would not stay here again.
Pros:

For some reason, one of the rooms I booked didn't have breakfast included, so I had to fork out an extra £9 for it. The breakfast was pretty skinny for the money. I wasn't impressed. It included a single mushroom and a somewhat tasteless piece of black pudding.

Cons:

The room was tired and included peeling wallpaper and a general poor decoration level.
But the worst problem was the air conditioning unit on the outside wall of the building. My colleague had an even worse experience because he was unfortunate enough to have it directly by the side of his room. It was a huge unit that continually kept going on and off until late into the night and started pretty much around dawn, making it very difficult to get to sleep.

You get what you pay for. The scampi and chips i ordered was really small and i was told that's it.
Pros:

The hotel is situated in a location that was really helpful

Cons:

The room was situated at the rear of the building and a pretty long walk from reception and was noisy, located directly above an aircon unit or something? The shower was very basic and i was almost scolded. lucky for me i tested the water temperature before stepping into the bath!

Excellent staff, great value for money, rooms as advertised! Would recomend the stay to anyone!
Pros:

Very nice location, price of accommodation is more than excellent and affordable, prices of food and food itself at The Pub are also great and affordable. Room has more than enough place for 2 person (for which we booked) with full photo gear and all the things person needs for a 3 week UK travel. Bathroom is also very big. All in all, we had very pleasant stay at the Old Grey Mare!
