We got a free upgrade to an apartment, the bed wasn't as comfortable as our previous stay. The entrance way smelled of wet dog and dog urine. The room was nice and had little complimentary items which was nice. Last time we stayed we had an amazing breakfast. This time it was disappointing, the eggs were watery and undercooked, the orange juice tasted funky, possibly due to being watered down by ice cubes. We were really looking forward to that breakfast as it was amazing last time. The lady serving breakfast in morning seemed a little down compared to the previous time we stayed also. We will probably stay again as the location is okay for us and we like the place. Just a bad experience on this occasion.

Lovely old world character pub, cheap beer, lively sports / music, good breakfast, friendly staff, ideal for short stay in local area. Room basic but clean & decent enough for my needs as a 1 night stay, comfortable bed, good water power in shower which was lovely to cool down and clean up in after a day in the hot weather. Of note in deciding to book a stay: pub was lively so could be a bit too noisy for some later at night, no aircon in accommodation (but a fan to waft the hot air around is provided !) and the road noise in early hours could be an issue if you are a light sleeper (obviously outside the control of the premises however, worth accounting for if one of your priorities is a good nights sleep). Overall, decent value for money and even if I book to stay there next time I'd still visit again for the ambience of the place.

Fantastic Stay

What a great character place to stay for a couple of nights. Beautifully refurbished rooms and quiet even though close to a road. The inclusive breakfast was excellent with cereal, bread/toast, a selection of jams and a choice of hot food brought to you fresh and of course unlimited tea/coffee. All for a similar price to Premier Inn (no competition)
