Room was great (a few stairs to go up however). Comfortable bedBetter than expected. The pub however is amazing, so many reception rooms to choose from and wonderfully decorated. Staff were friendly and helpful, as were the locals, and we even had a local offer us a free bag of tomatoes from his allotment when we were walking down the street.

Arrived at 6pm and were told they had 'run out' of food so we had to order in. Breakfast was average and the coffee in the breakfast room was awful. One staff member was really banging about behind the bar at breakfast time - it was so loud... not to mention the entire family dining in their pyjamas...but this isn't the hotels's fault per se.

Convenient for proximity to a wedding we attended. Large family room that slept five of us. Ability to book an early check-in.

Parking - we had been told spaces couldn't be reserved and then found a number of free spaces unavailable due to a wedding at the venue.

We had a small, but spotlessly clean room with an extremely comfy bed.

For the price, it was absolutely fine, so I have nothing negative to say.

It was quiet. Plenty for breakfast.

Room ample size, mother & adult daughter booked a triple room, stayed for sisters 60th birthday party being held in hotel. Liked that rooms are named like suites. Was warned there was a party booked for that evening by reception on our arrival, we said yes we’re going lol, reception expected it to last until about 1am but we were finished by 11.

Parking, atrocious not enough spaces and very limited disabled spaces, no lift only stairs awkward shapes, very narrow corridors. Toilet didn’t flush in morning. Music could be heard and felt through floor during day, hours before party due to start.

Excellent service from the receptionist Rian, thank you. He made us feel welcome and booked us a taxi for the next morning, coming to tell us over dinner it was booked and where it would pick us up. Dinner was hot and delicious. The barman was clearly new and training and Rian came over after we had got our drinks to thank us for being patient with him. The rooms were small, but comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was cooked to order and well presented with quality products.

Have stayed several times previously so knew the hotel and location to the event. Parked in public car park a few minutes away as I knew from previous experience the car park is small.

Everyone entering or exiting the hotel stood right outside our bedroom door taking very loudly and had dogs growling through the door. At one point, after 10pm, I opened the door and made the people aware it was a bedroom. They kept talking and dog kept growling. I was staying with my dog and my 9yr old daughter. I have previous stayed with multiple dogs in the one room and have always been considerate of other people staying in the hotel.

Staff always helpful and polite.

Limited car parking, there was an event which meant the car park was full on arrival. It was crowded with people when i was trying to get to reception and hard to get through with bags/dogs, etc. The room was very small and the carpet was stained. The window looked out onto rooves, not very nice. The music from downstairs was loud in my room.

The room was clean and spacious. There was parking available at the rear of the property. All the staff were very polite and friendly. The hotel is situated on the main street near all the facilities.

Unfortunately our mattress was uncomfortable as the springs were old it definitely needed replacing. There was a small heater in the room that wasn't sufficient to heat the room properly. There was quite alot of noise within the hotel with doors banging in the night and early morning.
