Nostalgia?
Great staff, great food. If you are looking for nostalgia then the room we had provided this with Formica panels in the very small en-suite complete with broken fixtures and a good deal of mold on the ceiling. The shower provides for good water saving as the flow was just sufficient to rinse off the soap. The bed was soft enough to enable the springs to make their presence be known and the bedroom ceiling has a large water leak stain. Took me back to the 70’s.

OK, but a little over-priced
Arrived late. Bar was OK. Service was good. I had a room on the front street which was stiflingly hot and the noise on the street wouldn't let me open the windows.

Pleasant hotel with good facilities for diners.
Room was dated and needed a little T.L.C. Found the staff to be very helpful. Enjoyed a lovely evening meal, and the breakfast the following morning was very good.

Traumatic day
On arrival from a traumatic near death experience on the M4 we decided to go for a walk after checking in. On return we realised the DVD player was not working. When the girls wanted to bath I noticed hair and dirt all up the wall by the bath so had to try in clean it down with antibacterial wipes. Then I thought I paid £100 for room that has definitely not been properly cleaned. When reporting to the desk about the dvd she said someone will look at it in the morning. So would not recommend this family room to anyone with high standards of cleanliness or active children

Nice pub and food but family room was stifling
I'd like to leave a really nice review about this hotel as the pub itself, the staff, and the breakfast were all perfectly pleasant. The only thing that really spoiled our stay was the fact that there was no air conditioning in the room, just a desk fan, and because the room is ground floor we couldn't leave the window open for fear of someone climbing in. So I had to stay up into the small hours with the window open to let the day's heat out of the room. None of us got a proper night's sleep unfortunately. Only other thing I would say is that the family room could definitely do with a bit of sprucing up as it looks quite scuffed, stained roof tiles etc. Location wise for our needs, couldn't fault it.

Needs a little TLC
A very dated hotel room......not impressed with the bed - very uncomfortable but clean.....the bathroom was especially dated but clean...I would have the chair removed and cleaned - stains over it.The window lock in my room was broken so wouldn't lock - I only mention this because my room overlooked a flat roof and some of the other room windows were next to mine. On the plus side... On the plus side.... the food was delicious and the service was very good by all the staff.

Tired but friendly.
The staff at the Sportsmans are very friendly, polite and helpful and are not to be faulted. Very nice cooked breakfast and, although we didn't have it, the carvery on Sunday looked/smelled good! However, the accommodation has long since passed it's best and some very easily/cheaply remedied problems in the rooms have sadly been overlooked which makes it seem rather unloved. It is ok for the price but we all agreed we'd happily pay a chunk more for an updated room.

Friendly people
Our first experience in a English pub, a real English pub not a tourist trap. Great food and very friendly atmosphere. Room was clean and comfortable. Floors a little squeaky could hear neighbour walking about but it added to the atmosphere of being in old inn.
