Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Clean and comfortable room with all the essentials required. Though right next to main road was not disturbed by any noise during the night. Good lighting in room and switches conveniently located above headboard. Room - especially en suite bathroom - a little dated and tired and in need of updating. Fan was not very good and TV very small given its distance from bed. The self-service buffet breakfast was basic but fine and the dining room clean and accessible and well laid out. Would have preferred option of a cooked breakfast as advertised.

Arrived early 1:30 pm when check in was 3pm. Could not gain access & no one answered the phone. Went away came back at 3pm and even though there was someone there who could sign us in, they advised that the pub was not open til 4pm and that the 3pm check in was a bit of a mistake. Breakfast was very good. No evening dining facilities were available & there was no one around during the day time should something be required. My expectation was that being an old coaching inn the hospitality would be alot better than it was. We were very disappointed

Quite happy to leave this hotel after 4 nights stay. Lights kept failing in the room, felt dirty and wasnt cleaned, very dated decor and furniture. Poor atmosphere and breakfast we chose to skip.

Vecchio pub...un po' troppo vecchio.

Caratteristico pub però con camere assolutamente da rinnovare. Letti scomodi, arredamento e decorazione troppo vecchio. La pulizia del bagno e lenzuola ok. Ma la moquette, finestra ed arredi hanno bisogno di una pulizia più profonda. Molto buona la colazione ed il personale molto disponibile.

4* hotel this is definitely not! Its not even 1*!

On arrival told hotel restaurant was closed. Shown to deluxe 4 poster room that u couldn’t swing a cat in!.. defo not delux. Carpets were thread bare, skirting boards were filthy, pealing paper on walls. Heat in room unbareable! No sleep! Took them 40mins to find keys to let me out in morning. Too hot in restaurant to sit for breakfast so got Takeaway bacon roll & coffee which took another half an hour, coffee cup lid far to big so went everywhere. This is definitely not a 4* hotel and that was definitely not a deluxe room! Very dated and not clean! Hotels.com need to be checking the accommodation before writing there descriptions and selling to the public who takes there word and descriptions as being correct and true! Very very unhappy !
