Liked: Staff & service
I am going to be kind here, and take into account that the Manager, a very nice & polite young man (named Zak??), advised us upon our arrival that he had only just started running this pub in the past 2 weeks. Apparently his boss had just bought the place after it had been "run down for a while".
With that in mind.....
The good points were that the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were supposed to book in by 9pm, but because i finished work later than anticipated, and we had to drive from Essex, we didn't arrive at the pub until 22:30. The pub rang us just after 9pm to check if we were still coming, and said it was no problem if we arrived late.
Once we finally got there, we were told that there was no breakfast available, despite us being advised on the website that cooked breakfast was available
Zak said that in compensation for no breakfast, they had put small individual boxes of cereal out, on top of a bar fridge, with cold milk, orange & apple juice.
The choice of cereal was limited to Corn Flakes, Rice Crispies & Special K.
The room was smaller than i expected, but was ok for 1 night.
The day we arrived was very very unseasonally hot. 32°! So, consequentially, our room was very hot.
It was very warm in the room. Too hot to sleep. The addition of a fan would have helped. All the windows had wire stays fitted to them, to stop guests opening the windows too wide. Thankfully our window stay was broken, so we had our window wide open! No regular coffee in room.
