I chose to stay here given the high score and positive reviews left by others. I must say my experience was not the best. It started with parking issues. I arrived to find the car park is tiny and can really only fit about 4 cars in it (5 at a squeeze) and was full. Not knowing the area I had no idea what my options were. I could see that there is allocated street parking but all of this was full too. I had to find somewhere to pull over and call the property. I was directed to a public non-paying car park situated behind them - having arrived there that was full. I went back to the hotel where a very friendly member of staff got one of the regulars to move their car to let me in the car park as they could not advise me what any other option was. I was shown to my room which was quirky but quite small. I wasn’t given any instructions about use of the wi-if or what the arrangements were for leaving keys in the morning and had to ask 2 different members of staff to get the correct information. The bed was comfortable but there was a constant noise in the room all night which sounded like a fan or something, so I didn’t have the best sleep. In the morning, the water pressure was terrible in the shower and the water was not hot - just warm at best. Also the water did not drain away. Overall not great - would I stay again, unfortunately not.

A value for money, spacious, clean and well appointed room in an old pub. Our room had a bath as well as shower. Good pub food. Staff were friendly and efficient. It is an old pub so it has steep stairs, creaky floorboards and some noise from patrons but that comes with the venue. Free parking was available but limited parks at the pub itself. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Restaurant not open Monday or Tuesday, no cafe. This needs to be shown on the hotel write up as misleading. Room no fridge working, kettle had mould inside so could not make drinks. Shower no hot water, shower mat mouldy. Deluxe windows leaking water down the wall and bedboards,cobwebs and dust everywhere not good, decor dated and peeling off walls. No remote control for tv. No food Monday or Tuesday unless you were a friend or staff??? No direction for initial registration on arrival as door.locked had to guess re entry and find bar entrance

The room was lovely, and re entry decorated. The bath and shower was not functioning properly. The water didn't run hot, and on the first day we had a tepid shower. The tap fell off in my hand. The shower head was full of timescale and which meant water went at odd angles.

This is a hotel attached to a sports bar. The car park is tiny. Had to park outside a shop and walk to hotel. Check in was so noisy and loud could not hear what was said. Restaurant was closed for private wine tasting. This was not on website. Music played loudly until 02:05am when I rang the pub and asked how much longer the music would play. The person who answered said they were not aware anyone was in. This was worrying as booked via website and completed registration form, had hotel needed to evacuate during the night, would I have been forgotten. Loud, noisy place. Room was nice as was person at check in, but lack of Restaurant and noise level means I would not recommend. It should be made clear that one of the bars is a sports bar
