For £60 a night I did not expect to have to share a toilet and shower! The thin mattress, curtains and very thin walls were just very annoying. The people in the room next door may as well have been sharing mine as I could hear every word and movement.

Great stay in a clean and comfortable room.

Stayed in room 1, which is an en-suite double, with an additional single sofa bed. Room was clean and comfortable. Some signs of wear and tear, but this didn’t affect my stay. Wi-Fi is almost nonexistent in the rooms, but is ok in the bar/restaurant. Will definitely stay here again when in the area.

An excellent choice for a budget stay

We chose this pub/room because of the proximity to my family and their ability to accommodate pets. The owners and staff were kind, polite and welcoming. They made a big fuss of our dog and they looked after us in the evening. The hotel room was clean and tidy; nothing extravagant but that is not the reason we stayed. Thank you to you and your staff for making us feel welcome. One to note and we will keep it up our sleeve for the next time we visit family.

Mixed experience

Comfortable room and friendly helpful staff. Busy local pub clean and interesting but loud music until midnight and then music after that with poor sound insulation. Not a place for a restful night.

Nice room and pub

My second stay here. It is conveniently located in the town centre, with ample on site parking. There are 3 rooms, one of which is en-suite. Room was large, clean and comfortable. Pub was nice, very busy on the Saturday night as there was a private function being held in the back room. All of the staff were very nice, friendly and helpful, especially Harry, who worked extremely hard all night. There is free Wi-Fi in the pub, but I struggled to get any signal in the room, which was the only downside to my stay. I will definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

WORST STAY IVE VER HAD

Terrible experience. Not a place to stay for a good night's sleep. The rooms are only separated by a locked door. They had given the key to this door to other guests who drunkenly walked into my room at 2am. Because it's just a door separating the rooms, all sound travels through. The selfish guests next door were extremely noisy all night, blasting music and TV until 6am. No chance of getting any sleep. The pub itself also had very loud music until around 23:00 which you should consider if you're going to stay here. The shared shower only had freezing cold water. I won't be staying again. Avoid.

Great family/dog friendly pub/restaurant and rooms

Was attending the area for Banger Racing at Hednesford Hills Stadium and booked a 2 night stay in an en-suite double room. I was greeted by Manager Chris, who quickly checked me in and showed me to my room. The room was clean and tidy, large with a very comfortable bed. The en-suite was clean, with a good shower and complimentary toiletries. Free car parking in the pub car park and good Wi-Fi included. They do not serve breakfast, but there are other eateries within a couple of minutes walk. Highly recommended and I will definitely be staying again. I had dinner in the restaurant on the Saturday night (Southern fried chicken strips to start, followed by Mixed Grill). They had run out of a couple of items on the mixed grill, but offered me either a different meal or to substitute the out of stock items for something else which I did. The meal was freshly prepared, was of great quality and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended and I will definitely eat here again. I had drinks in the pub on both evenings. They have a huge selection to choose from and very reasonably priced. The back room has pool tables and dart boards and there are tv screens, showing various sports. The pub is family friendly and pet friendly. The staff are all very nice, helpful and friendly. Manager Chris, was very helpful and friendly as was barman James, who both must be singled out for praise. The Hen House is definitely worth visiting and highly recommended.

Henry

Disliked: Room comfort
It was basically 3 rooms over pub with shared facilites, which was advertised. But there was noise coming through the floor from the pub below til around 11 when the pub emptied and there was only a door between my room and the room next door and i suffered very noisy neighbours. Loud conversation til the small hours and then plenty of slamming doors throughout the night made for very little sleep. The room itself was comfy enough and the facilities were clean too. Free parking was also nice. The staff were friendly enough but not especially helpful Shall not return

Don’t expect to sleep.

Freezing rooms are separated by a door which other guests have keys to. Other guests playing loud music, engaging in drug taking and the use of prostitutes until 5am. Do not expect to sleep here at all.
