The room was pleasant and the bed was extremely comfy, the remote for the tv looked like it needed a good clean and the ceiling fan blew air up not down. Expensive for what it was, wouldn’t have minded if it was an £85 room.

A friendly place to stay

We stayed one night during the week. Staff were friendly and helpful and our room was clean with two comfy single beds. Tasty food in the bar downstairs, seems popular with local folks. Plenty of eating tables. An interesting 30 minute walk down the famous trendy Gloucester Road will get you to the centre.

Comfortable family friendly

Nice family pub. It can be a bit noisy during pub open hours but my family were very comfortable and had a great nights sleep. The bar below sells nice selection of beers and the play area kept our daughter busy so we could relax.
