The Aln
I have emailed the Joiners Arms with our feedback and have had no response. The check-in experience was very stressful and the room was small and needed some TLC - see photos. We were uncomfortable, didn't sleep well and had to pay an unexpected deposit of £50 to "open a tab" which was then never used and took 5 days to be refunded. The room could be improved greatly with a bit of a refurb, some new lighting and some storage/shelves to put belongings, however it does have luxury touches such as a Nespresso machine. It may have been 5 star when it was first finished but is certainly not now. We had a good experience in the pub at both breakfast and dinner - food and service were both good, however overall we were disappointed with our stay.

Great service and food especially the breakfast, only complaint was no hot water in room for hours , room was freezing cold when we came back from dinner we mention it and they said thet would check the boiler. Then the heat came on full blast late at night and was very hot. Wish we could have controlled water and radiator temperature. TV was constantly out of signal so couldn’t watch anything. This didnt spoil our stay but was a little annoying. There was also music and noise till 11pm but thats to be expected when it's a room above a bar. Staff were really pleasant and helpful.

Really enjoyed our time here, the room was very nice and cosy, catering is really good with breakfast included and the staff are helpful. In winter it may be difficult tomget around if you dont drive though as public transport is extremely limited and there isnt too much in the area.

The food and service at the Joiners was excellent. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The accommodation was warm and very clean. The lack of parking was not good and having to park further up the road was a pain especially with suitcases to unload and not good for a woman on her own in the dark. We found our room very dark especially if trying to apply make up and dry my hair. More lighting was needed above mirrors. Also there were no drawers to put clothes in so we had to leave them in our suitcases and no surface in the bathroom for toiletries. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay but would choose another room next time.
