A value for money, spacious, clean and well appointed room in an old pub. Our room had a bath as well as shower. Good pub food. Staff were friendly and efficient.
It is an old pub so it has steep stairs, creaky floorboards and some noise from patrons but that comes with the venue. Free parking was available but limited parks at the pub itself. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

We had no hot water for our 2day stay and trying to find someone to talk to was very hard after speaking to a member of staff nothing was done to resolve the situation .The room we booked online was not the room we ended up with .The service was terrible but having Sunday lunch in their restaurant was spectacular bit would not recommend anyone to stay there

Honeymoon suite superbly comfy. Spotless and stylish. Shower could do with an overhaul but plenty of hot water. Very helpful staff and warm welcome. Great stay. Thank you

Restaurant not open Monday or Tuesday, no cafe. This needs to be shown on the hotel write up as misleading.
Room no fridge working, kettle had mould inside so could not make drinks.
Shower no hot water, shower mat mouldy.
Deluxe windows leaking water down the wall and bedboards,cobwebs and dust everywhere not good, decor dated and peeling off walls. No remote control for tv.
No food Monday or Tuesday unless you were a friend or staff???
No direction for initial registration on arrival as door.locked had to guess re entry and find bar entrance

The room was lovely, and re entry decorated. The bath and shower was not functioning properly. The water didn't run hot, and on the first day we had a tepid shower. The tap fell off in my hand. The shower head was full of timescale and which meant water went at odd angles.

This is a hotel attached to a sports bar. The car park is tiny. Had to park outside a shop and walk to hotel.
Check in was so noisy and loud could not hear what was said.
Restaurant was closed for private wine tasting. This was not on website.
Music played loudly until 02:05am when I rang the pub and asked how much longer the music would play. The person who answered said they were not aware anyone was in.
This was worrying as booked via website and completed registration form, had hotel needed to evacuate during the night, would I have been forgotten.
Loud, noisy place. Room was nice as was person at check in, but lack of Restaurant and noise level means I would not recommend.
It should be made clear that one of the bars is a sports bar
