Upon first inspection the room looked clean, but the shower/toilet area was small, the hand basin was just that A HAND basin,you could not wash your face without getting water all over the floor in front of the toilet, there was also a badly stained lino with what looked like urine stains. In the bedroom the pillows should have been dumped ages ago, there were very badly stained, we didn't really check those until the second night and by then was too late to do anything. A main gripe is lack of parking specifically for guests (although when I asked at the bar a gentleman did move his car for me so thank you to him, possibly the landlord) And finally the window needs a big clean especially inside where the hinges are as we removed what looked like black mould. Saying all this if push comes to shove we may stay there again if needed but only as a last resort. Cannot fault the bar staff or the regulars for the friendly atmosphere
What looks like black mould, definitely needed cleaning
Two out of four pillows badly stained, and should not have been used but removed during room clean

Small beds

We got a phone call 30mins before arriving to say they had double booked and would have to cancel. After explaining this was not possible they found a room. The room was ok but the beds we're so small i fell out twice through the night.

What a delightful, hidden gem! Upon arrival, I met the owner at the pub. He moved his car to give us a parking spot right up front and the gave us a tour of the facilities. The place is obviously a bit dated but you can tell they are still trying to keep it up. Of the people we met staying here, pretty sure we were the only ones who didn’t know everyone. As it is the local pub, expect it to be a bit loud until around 11. I took the owners advice and went downstairs for a pint. Met some lovely people, shared some pints, played the Friday night bingo game, and then up a set of stairs to sleep. Overall, I would stay again. Felt safe and if I needed anything I could ask. Go downstairs and meet the locals. It’s worth it.

Fourth visit. Welcoming staff, spotless bed linen and towels, comfortable bed. However, the en-suite in room 1 appeared grubby. Not actually unclean, but stained and chipped shower tray and sink plug holes didn’t give the positive impression of previous visits. Disappointing.

Nice stay

Room was modern, clean and comfortable. Ensuit was spacious. Unfortunately we found the shower to be very hot and didn’t know how to turn it down (it was turned all the way to the coldest option). But to be fair, we didn’t ask for any help with it, so it could have been a simple fix. We hadn’t really thought through staying above a pub. Obviously you can hear everyone drinking & enjoying themselves until they leave around 12am. Anyway, room was great for the price and apart from the things mentioned above, was a great stay.

The staff seemed lovely, though I wasn’t given proper instructions regarding how to check out and had to ask at the pub. The room was small and basic, bathroom wasn’t the cleanest, but the main issue was how incredibly loud the noise from downstairs was. My window overlooked the ‘pub garden’. I couldn’t have my window open as everyone was out smoking, screaming at eachother and at one point attempting to start a fight. It didn’t quieten down till gone midnight and I stayed on a Thursday so I wasn’t expecting it to be so noisy. Staff perfectly nice but I wouldn’t stay here again

Very comfy beds. Clean, light room and friendly staff. Tea and coffee available in the room . The karioke downstairs stopped at 11pm which was fine and we slept well. We could have done with some towel hooks or a rail and a few instructions like how to turn on the radiator and what to do with the key when we left ( we worked those things out in the end !)

Not up to satisfaction

No one at reception, rung hotels.com to find out they could not find my reservation, they did give me a number to call for hotel, room dirty, rubbish behind bed side cabinets and in great need of an update, no breakfast and pub underneath does not serve food, if looking to stay with children be aware that you could hear the noise from the pub in room
