Very good

The room was fabulous, beams and full of character. The bec was very comfy, especially the woollen blanket!
There was a fair bit of dust around. The bath was grubby. The shower headwould not stay up.
The menu for me was limited as I am a lactose intolerant coeliac but the chef did manage to conjure up a gluten free pizza base with vegan cheese, so full marks for him for effort!
We had booked for two nights, but we only stayed for one. I booked a twin room, but got one with a double bed and a single bed. The single bed was really uncomfortable, just a thin mattress over lumpy springs, so we couldn’t use it. The double bed was fine but the pillows were hard. The bathroom looked as though it had been refurbished, but the sink had a crack and the plug hole was dirty. The worst thing was the shower door. The plastic edging was filthy with green mould around the bottom. The pub was in need of refurbishment, the window frames were rotten and the stone floor behind where I was sitting had crumbled. The food was fine and staff were lovely. I would not go back and we left afte4 one night because nothing felt very clean.
We had an amazing stay. My friend and i took my daughter to harry potter studios, which was just 15 minutes away. The room was comfortable and clean, maybe just needs redecorating.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the food was great.
The area around the hotel was beautiful, well looked after with a beautiful park and play area.
Brilliant stay made all the more better by Michelle, who made my wife and I feel really welcome. Her enthusiasm was infectious. Definitely will be back again

Quirky place. Lots more atmosphere than the usual chain hotels. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Usual creaky floorboards and dodgy plumbing you find in old buildings. Could use dimmer lights in the emergency “alway on” lights in the bedroom and double glazing to keep the town noise out.

Been using this pub/hotel since it was first opened by the mother and son combo, stepping over off cuts of carpet and other things on the snagging list to get the place up and running. Have been back many times to visit my daughter who lives just up the road but this visit was a disappointment. The place needs a refurb, doors don't close, furniture damaged and things like the wrong light bulbs used in some areas. All top off by a 45 minute wait for breakfast, shame really.
Lovely 1 night stay as part of a business trip. Staff very friendly, ate evening meal in the pub downstairs - a laminated menu but great tasting pizza! Breakfast included in the price was good size portions. All in all will stay again when next in the area.
Lovely hotel and full of character. Makes a great change to the usual corporate clone hotels. Really friendly people and freshly cooked quality breakfast. It would be great if the fans in adjacent rooms could be replaced. They sound pretty ancient and are really noisy. As a light sleeper this makes it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.
I was expecting some noise as the property is a part of a busy pub in a popular area. There was no noise whatsoever.
Check in was fuss free and casual. Comfy bed and decent shower.
We was greeted by a guy behind the bar. Saying we had a booking, he put a little sign out saying he would be back soon. He then took us to our room. My wife has walking disability. But, he just took his time and waited. Shame the weekend breakfast time was not before 8.30 am. But, the stay was still very good. even with window open, didnt hear much noise at all.
