Basic

Had we seen the room before paying we would not have stayed. Room was basic, poor quality and decoration tired. It reminded me of youth hostels I used to stay in in the 1990’s.

Very warm welcome.

We stayed in a family room for one night. The room was decent size. The bathroom was small but the shower was good. The lady who checked us in was very friendly. The bar is nice too. There is a lot of noise from the bar until after 11pm, which we were warned about, and it was a Saturday so to be expected!

Decent stop over

Great pub. Lively atmosphere. Live music is still quite loud in the rooms until finish time 10/.30/11pm(?). If not your thing may be best to check if there is any music planned for the night of your stay. (My stay was Saturday night)After hours area is very quiet. Limited on site parking at the rear with narrow bays. Additional free parking on the road without issue. Food is available but I gather the kitchen keeps variable hours so if you intended to eat there may be best to check first

Un clean. Do not recommend

Not clean. Didn't say as other members of the party checked in and out in a moment as it was so un clean with beds that looked slept in covered in hairs. The decision was made to not stay.

Disliked: Staff & service
Due to an involvement with problems internationally, I tried to speak to the hotel about postponing or even cancelling. I rang three ( 3 ) times during the week before. The answer machine cut in each time, took my message explaining mitigating circumstances but the hotel never rang back, pure ignorance on behalf of the hotel and its staff. Not good business.

The staff where very helpful the room was clean and fresh linen eveyday but the room needs a bit of work the floor was very squeaky the toilet door wouldn't stay shut or lock and the hot water tap didnt work. Not really worth what i payed for each night.
