Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Avoid at all costs
Had a good meal there and our server was brilliant, but apart from that it's the worst place I've ever stayed. Grossly overpriced; No proper reception to check in; horrible steep and narrow stairs (anyone with mobility problems avoid at all costs); room was dark, dingy and nothing like the pictures; went down at 9:10 on Sunday morning for breakfast (advised breakfast time 8:30 - 9:30!?) NOTHING! everywhere locked up and in darkness, no staff to be found. We packed the car, left the room key on the side and left!! Never ever to return.

Made Fawlty Towers look like a 5* hotel .Arrived for check in at 2 pm as arranged ,nobody available to allocate room. Young girl behind bar tried to contact manager but they didn't answer phone. She gave us 2 room key after sitting in bar for 1 and a half hour . Landlord had very loud Birthday party for himself in side bar till very late with people on the stairs to rooms swearing loudly. Got up for breakfast at 8.30 am with another couple who were staying , all locked up nobody available. Nobody there when we left at 9.50 am as taxi was waiting ,having had no breakfast which we had paid for . Only plus bar staff were good ,but management hopeless

Not Great…..
So, I knew I was booking into a pub in a busy town so expected some noise. Unfortunately we were in room 10, which backed onto the rear smoking area which meant that, with the window open, a constant smell of cigarettes prevailed. It also seemed to be the staff meeting area so all conversations could be heard and at 0130 we had to lean out of the window and ask people to shut up as we couldn’t sleep. Same in the morning when they gathered at 7….. the room has no warning about a step directly behind the door and I have a bigger iPad than the television. It was clean though. Breakfast usual style. Poached eggs were great, even with the additional hair…..I only paid £100 so should I manage my expectations? Even only paying this, I wouldn’t expect to be able to smell cigarettes and be subjected to noise after midnight. Won’t stay here again.
