8/10 Very Good

Lovely pub, great room, terrible mattress
It was our third visit to the Jolly Drover and we have always returned because the beds and bedding are so comfy and the accommodation is simple but well maintained. We have stayed in different rooms and this time were in room 6. Everything was fine until we got into bed. The mattress was so awful that you could feel the slats on the bed. I nearly fell out on one occasion. It was a horrible night and very sad because we were exhausted after a long drive from Wales and settling a family member back in to their home nearby.
I did let a member of staff know as we were leaving that the mattress needs replacing and was a short it would be escalated with head office. Personally I didn't feel very reassured.
Breakfast was ultimately very good but I originally asked for two poached eggs and was informed I would need to make my own toast to go with the poached eggs which I thought was really weird. I'm not sure I have ever stayed anywhere where two poached eggs have been presented on a plate on their own. Anyway I had the full English instead which was excellent.
We may return but I would want to know that the mattress in number six had been replaced beforehand.
