Room was OK and fine for an overnight stay. Quite noisy but it is a pub. Shame it doesnt serve food.

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!

Strange noise
Staff were welcoming
Space to park
Room was clean
Plenty of towels
Window was wide open to took a little while to warm up
A good night's sleep until about 6am when there was a strange ticking noise (possibly the heating) that stopped me falling back to sleep

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.
