Pleasant dog-friendly stay

Very pleasant overnight stay. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the hotel is extremely dog friendly, with dog biscuits in the room and a breakfast treat! Good pub food for the humans and an excellent cooked breakfast. Good value for money and a lot of little extra touches including bottled water in the room.

Off the beaten track.

Off the beaten track little gem of an hotel. Historic, local railway station forms site of today's hotel. Still has vintage rolling stock at platform. Very friendly, warm welcome from all staff. Good restaurant, with varied menu. Comfortable, clean rooms, with children and dog friendly grounds.

Fabulous place to stay

We were going to a wedding nearby and needed an early check in to be able to get changed, having flown into LHR 2 hours earlier. The manager (Amanda I think her name was) had both our rooms ready for us which was amazing. Rooms were spacious, well furnished and immaculately clean. Breakfast was fab (I had eggs florentine). All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We'll be back :-)

The hotel was in a lovely quiet spot which was exactly what we were looking for. Although the room was small, it had everything we needed for our 1 night stay with our pooch. We had a lovely meal in the pub and a few drinks, plus our dog was also given a lovely treat. He especially enjoyed his breakfast of sausages, black pudding and scrambled eggs. The breakfast service was quick, lovely food. Would be happy to recommend.

I have dietary requirements and there was not a fridge in the room. A gentlemen allowed me to put my food in the fridge in the restaurant, Sarah told me in a loud voice in the bar area where customers were sitting that it was not allowed and i was extremely shocked. The other manager amanda decided to sit with me at breakfast and talk to me about a wake she had been to in birmingham, NOT APPROPRIATE

Small comfortable Hotel

The Hotel is a converted railway station, I was made very welcome on arrival. All the staff were very helpful. The Bedroom was compact but comfortable, but be aware there is quite a bit of noise from a nearby busy road. The food in the restaurant was good, but I didn't like how a 10% Service Charge was added to the food bill, plus there was No VAT number on the food bill, and was told 'that is how it is'. I will have an issue recovering the costs from my employer.

John

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was very small and needed a refurbishment. The en-suite was even smaller with the shower, sink and lavatory shoe-horned in. If the charges were under £100 a night it might have been almost acceptable but at £180 it was a bit of a rip-off. Breakfast was OK but no cereal available. The staff however were fine but the pub chain obviously wants to maximise the use of the building without considering the comfort of its guests. If this is the standard Expedia recommend we will not be using their web-site again
