Great location, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere. The only downside is that heavy lorries early in the morning are likely to give you a wake-up call unless you are a heavy sleeper

It is what it says on the tin; a pub with rooms. Food was delicious (I had the chicken tagliatelle and home made sticky toffee pudding for dinner) and a great choice for brekky .... smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with ANCHOVY muffin was yummy.... but for a 'pub' to then charge an extra £3+ for a tea bag in hot water just left me feeling a bit miffed! The white wine (NZ Marlborough, £8.20 large glass) with the evening meal wasn't very chilled either and tasted much more like a Chardonnay). If you're going to offer these items, I think it's vital to get them right. Just my opinion of course
Lush!
Yummy!

Ok for 1 night

We stayed 2 nights in annex. Bed VERY firm, pillows hard or lumpy So didnt sleep well. But others may like this, Constant fan whirring from kitchen below. Carwash next door and garage ,some guy there 11pm With screaming kids! I know this isnt the hotels fault, but be aware. The property has very heavy fire doors which inconsiderate neighbours on sunday kept slamming at night while going out for cigarette i assume . Again not the hotels fault but it adds up to not sleeping. Also the room itself was VERY bland, marks everywhere, ripped headboard,scuffs,big bathroom with the smallest basin so awkward for washing face, or when my partner tried to shave, cant fill kettle up or bottle to replenish . Nowhere to put toiletries, which again lots of space for nice shelves or unit. Shower head needs changing. Silicon around tray needs replacing. Its lots of little things. Also the garden,huts need some loving. It could be so much nicer its a shame Parking was plentiful, food was nice in restaurant. Didnt have brekky tho. Staff were nice . 15min walk to the canal ( but along a very busy main road!)

I did not stay at the Rowton Poplars Hotel, after becoming ill, and needing to return home. In spite of repeated, diligent efforts to communicate with Expedia via email, phone, live chat, and text, none resulted in my ability to communicate with them, and cancel my stay in a timely way, so I paid for three nights at a fairly expensive hotel for nothing. I really do not understand how Expedia cannot make at least one form of communicating with them work, since guests are traveling 24/7, and may have difficulties with lodging, rental cars, and other aspects of their trips. Expedia was NOT there for me in ANY way, when I needed them. No links on their website to cancel my stay were functional.

Pub with great benefits

Small annex & en-suite. Room up one flight of stairs accessed off car park, but was hygenically clean, bright and snug. A nice bar and resteraunt downstairs, which doubles as breakfast area. Evening meals and breakfast selection are good value and very tasty.
