Room was a bit pricey for the size

Friendly staff and the room was clean. Only gripe that the room was really small and extremely hot only due to the hot weather.

Very good value! Large room in historic pub. Building is full of character with wonky beams and creaky floor boards, and our room had an incredible four poster bed. Everything was clean and linens were all good quality. Bathroom could use some minor retouching but was perfectly acceptable. We stayed in the peak of summer (30 degree days) and did find it was very hot and there was no fan in the room. Trade off between having the windows open to help cool off which also let in a fair amount of street noise overnight. Probably wouldn’t typically be an issue though and will stay again!

Quirky hotel but we like quirky . I would recommend not having your bedroom windows open of a night time due to idiot revving their engines and popping their exhausts ! Staff very friendly and helpful, hotel doesn’t do breakfasts but staff gave us recommendations .

Nice room in historic building

Very pleasant small room with a lovely big 4 poster bed. Bathroom coukd do with sone tlc but shower and towels were excellent. Our room overlooked the beer garden but it soon quietened down and was then very quiet all night. Rooms are above a nice pub in a gloriously wonky old building

Staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful. However the room (no.2) was average: Pros - Clean room, bedding and towels Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk and biscuits (including kind offer from staff to ask if I needed more) Clean bathroom en-suite, plenty of towels Cons - Floor is very uneven Wardrobe had hangars but only coat hooks inside, so unable to hang anything properly (Nb: even if the hooks were used, there wouldn’t be enough space to hang clothes up at the same time!) No shelves inside either, so basically nowhere to put clothes other than the wardrobe floor. The curtain wasn’t wide enough to cover the window properly (!), leaving a lot of extra light in at sunrise. The window was open when I arrived (which I was fine with) but even when I closed it, it still didn’t seal off much sound from outside (cars and people passing by). No toiletries in the bathroom apart from shower gel. (I didn’t realise this until the pub had closed at 10pm so couldn’t ask for any) This would have been fine with me had I been advised of the situation in advance to ensure I brought my own. Overall I felt the room was adequate for a single night stay, with being willing to ‘manage’ with the window and curtain in particular. The bed was comfortable enough, although I suspect many people would find it a bit too soft.
Curtain too small and thin

A great place for a relaxing break.

Comfortable room in an old inn, with a 4-poster & settee. Good strong, hot shower. Very quiet, so a good night’s sleep. Very friendly host& staff - the inn providing excellent food & refreshment. Perfectly placed close to the station, car parks, attractions & main shopping areas. All within one of the nicest towns in England.
