A reasonable choice for a short stay

We stopped off at the Bluebird for one night following a wedding in the area. We chose the Inn for the location, which was on our route and very convenient. We were able to check in early and very easily - the bar manager was very pleasant and helpful. The cleanliness of the room left quite a bit to be desired. The bedding was somewhat stained, the window panes were mouldy and equipment for hot drinks needed a wash before use. However, we overall got what we paid for and had no issues with parking, noise, broken amenities etc that would have hampered our stay.

What a gem...

Was sadly only there for 1 night as a place to crash after a nearby wedding. The place was lovely, the staff couldn't of been any kinder and accommodating. Breakfast was lovely. Would drive the 6hrs to come back for a few days stay for sure.

April stay

This is the first time I’ve stayed at The Bluebird Inn. It was a first class stay, well-deserved, thanks to the staff, who are friendly and welcoming. The rooms are excellent, and the overall vibe of the hotel is perfect. I’ll definitely be back. Plus the breakfast and meal on the evening was amazing

Wedding base.

We stayed here as a base for a family wedding, using 5 rooms. Everyone said how good the pub was and the rooms were lovely and quiet. My husband and I had a meal on the night of arrival which was excellent. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. It was nice to have plenty of tea bags and milk cartons in the room instead of the usual 2. Very comfortable bed. Can’t fault it at all. Would definitely recommend over the nearby garner hotel as we dropped someone off there and it stank. Sewage works opposite behind some trees.

Consistently good. The food isn't gourmet but it's not trying to be. The food is wholesome and always extremely hot (beware!). The rooms are an excellent size, nice bathroom and well serviced.
