I booked multiple rooms for a week for work and all the rooms were very very tired. The pub itself is okay but the rooms are definitely in need of upgrading. The bathrooms havent been touched since the 50's

Wouldn’t rush back

We stayed in the family room in the attic it was alright but wouldn’t rush back, our double bed was comfy but boys beds were very hard, it was clean but very very dated lighting was very poor, tv very small, no lifts and getting big heavy suitcases up all them stairs was a struggle. But the town was nice canny few pubs in town

Good stay…. Don’t pay for parking!

The car parking is free, don’t use the park and pay machine; the sign is misleading. You can get your money back (I haven’t managed), it’s hard to speak to a person from Britannia parking!
Guests don’t pay!

Shower Leaking on to Bathroom Floor

Comfortable stay. The only problem was the shower leaking all over the bathroom floor. It was on a solid bar and not adjustable. Tried everything with the shower curtain to keep the floor protected. I think because the show rail is straight and doesn’t curve round the end of the bath, this causes the problem.

Unclean

Bathroom was nothing short of a disgrace. The last person's Toothpaste all over the taps and generally unclean. The shower also floods, and the flush barley works. Looked like something from the 70's. Silicon about 2" wide

Disappointing stay - noisy barking dogs!!

The rooms do require refurbishing and although clean they look a little tired. The hotel caters for visitors with pets. We were extremely disappointed that our room was in a section of the hotel where dogs barking kept us awake for most of the night. We reported this to reception staff when checking out and received a half hearted apology
