Friendly staff, reasonably priced food and a decent room. Unfortunately the room was just off the garden which was busy and very noisy so we got hardly any sleep and had to up at 3.30 Providing ear plugs would be a good idea.

Homely Stay

Pleasant staff. Very accommodating with our request for an ealier than 3pm checkin. The room was tidy and clean, although the light shades needed dusting and the toilet seat was broken. A good selection of tea, coffee etc and biscuits. Juice was a welcome surprise. Overall a pleasant stay.

A nice stay

Ideal for my use, short stay to attend a concert nearby , Taxi service recomended was great. Room clean, plentiful tea and coffee. Bathroom clean, maybe would benefit from a little TLC sealant renewing etc but fine for our stay

Fine for an overnight prior to flight

Basic room in converted out building. Beds not great but ok for an overnight prior to a morning flight. The pub was convenient for food and drinks in the evening

Clean and tidy, the accommodation is a quirky building at the rear of the pub. Basic but quite acceptable for the price. Conveniently situated for Great Dunlop and the start of a bike ride I was taking part in.

Convenient, comfortable and excellent value

We stayed before a morning flight and I would definitely stay again. You can arrive up to closing which is 11pm. We initially couldn’t find parking as there was a darts match on (Thursday for reference) but you could block people in and shift it later on. The room was spacious, beds comfortable, and the room had plenty of tea, coffee, UHT milk, sugar as well as shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion. We slept very well. Once the pub is closed it’s very quiet.

Room was damp and cold. Bed mattress springs were in your back and couldn’t sleep. Food was nice in the pub though.
