Good for an overnight stay on a budget

Fairly basic, bed not too comfortable but perfectly good enough for our overnight stay. Staff friendly and helpful but evening meal not good. Overall, a low cost for the area so a good budget option.

Wouldn't stay again

Arrived only 10 minutes early but were made to wait in the bar. Led up to our room along a corridor and stairs loaded with vacuum cleaners and coats. Light only came on when you had reached the top which left you in pitch black. First impressions of the room were, oh dear. But it was clean. Room had a king sized bed and a single, again, clean. Mattress was very thin and uncomfortable. Bathroom has to be the smallest I've ever seen. Sink way too big, no room to dry yourself after a shower. Nice selection of tea and coffee but fridge had not been cleaned and had a puddle of milk in it.

Perfect weekend stay in Pod

Stayed in one of the pods for a weekend. Staff were very welcoming & helpful. Kitchen was about to close when we arrived, but they still served us a meal which was lovely. Pod was easy to access, spotlessly clean and tidy and had everything we needed.

Perfect location for our needs for a one night stay, plenty of parking and a friendly welcome. Despite us arriving early the room was ready for us, and we enjoyed eating there in the evening. The room was spacious and accommodating, the bathroom less so.

Very basic accommodation ( not top rated!)

This is not a very good or excellent place to stay. The room we stayed (room 1) was extremely basic. The bathroom door does not closed as it has been wet so many times that the wood as swollen. There is a dusty airing cupboard that is rammed with towels but it would not lock. Above the bed is a cupboard with all electric circuits for the pub, kitchen and rooms. Apart from being able to tamper with them, if something happens it is the only access point. The condition of the room and furniture is outdated and tired The landing is messy and the access unappealing. The shower is extremely primitive and has very little water pressure. Our room was directly above the pub and on the first night it got a bit noisy until midnight. It seems that the excellent ratings are for some pods outside the pub, but they are stand alone near the beer garden and brand new. The pub, surpirisngliy, does not provide breakfast and although our room had a ti y fridge and coffee and tea facilities, there is virtually no room to be able to have some sort of BYO breakfast. The only saving grace is that the staff were lovely.

Good solid accommodation.

Small but comfortable room and clean bathroom. Might be some plumbing issues at sometime in the future if the sounds emanating from the piping after use are any indication, but all good!

Not bad but found the Pods rather damp. The bar in the main building looked like it could do with a good cleaning. The manager was helpful as the wifi guest wasn't connecting in our Pod but allowed us to use his.

Comfortable accommodation but wifi didn’t work

Very comfortable accommodation but wifi didn’t work, which also meant that some of TV service wasn’t available. We were told that if we linked to wifi in the bar area, it would then work in the room, but it didn’t. We ate in the bar in the evening, but we later found much better options for same price in the town centre so I would recommend giving the bar a miss. Good selection of tea, coffee, hot choc in the room. Also a fridge which is always useful.
