OK for an overnight stay. Our room had a view of a shipping container in the yard - not the hanging gardens of Babylon or a herd of wildebeast that we'd hoped for! (The reception staff member was too young to remember Fawlty Towers, so the comment went over his head....). Had to ask at the bar for glass tumblers for water needs in the night and to hold toothbrushes. Some noise from Friday night entertainment but stopped at 11pm so not an issue.

Very comfortable bed, room was nicely dark and peaceful too once the live band finished about 10.45pm. Only 1 working plug socket in room 10 but we coped. We would certainly stay again.

One night stay to attend concert in Liverpool. Check in was smooth, staff member showed me to room and showed fire exits etc, he was very polite. Room was ideal for what we needed. Clean and comfortable. Bathroom was clean and modern, shower prowerful, towels and toiletries provided. Free parking on site to the back of the pub. The area was quiet with minimum passing traffic. We didn’t drink or eat in the pub but it looked nice enough.

Booked 2 rooms for my sister & niece to stay so they could attend a family funeral the day after. They had a 4 hr journey & reserved a table for 7.45pm they arrived at 7.40 and were told the kitchen was closing in 5 mins & they had to quickly choose from the menu whilst standing, coats still on and not checked in to their rooms. They ordered burgers and had to send it back as they were still raw in the middle ! The floor was dirty in the dining area & they were made to feel uncomfortable. My sisters room had plaster missing in the room, no teabags ( had to ask for some ) marks on the walls where pictures had been, all in all it was a horrible experience for them and I felt responsible as I’d arranged the booking.
My nephew are round the edges of his burger as it was completely raw in the middle, my sister sent hers back
Dirty carpet in dining area
