Bar well stocked. Efficient checking in. Staff all friendly and helpful. On entrance room looked OK however after spending a few hrs there it was evident we had chosen poorly. Carpet was filthy furnishings disgraceful covered with throws to hide stains. Worst part was the bed. The worst three nights sleep we have ever had. Mattress needs condemning and we both woke in pain with our backs. Bathroom adequate. Shower tray had no safety mat. This should be looked at. No fan and bathroom mirror not working. We would add none of this is due to poor staff cleaning as they cannot be responsible for poor furniture and fittings. On discussing whether we should complain we decided against it as we had booked a superior room so it seemed pointless! Furthermore entry and exit door cannot be opened fully and kept sticking. In an emergency this could be fatal. Comments made to encourage owners to improve accommodation. Spend an evening in room 5 and see how you get on. We won't be returning. Very disappointing stay.

Room was clean but unfortunately it was the most squeaky bed in existence (room 3) woke up every time I rolled over. Also could you not ask the window cleaner to come after check out rather than banging on guests windows at half 7? Surely it'd only be a couple of quid extra to specify after 11?

It's exactly what the site states, it's an old pub/ building. Be prepared for the sponginess of the floors, windows don't open (fire hazard) and the very poor quality renovation work. The WiFi didn't work while we were there, very inconvenient.That being said, it's in a convenient location and a good price. The bed was comfortable and the staff were nice.

Can recommend a stay here. Our room was clean and comfortable. There was plenty of hot water and the towels were large and soft (I hate trying to get dried in the morning with a towel the size of a face flannel that has the texture of sandpaper). The staff are excellent, really friendly and helpful (it has been a while since I have booked into a hotel and a member of staff has shown me to the room and carried my suitcase). The rooms are upstairs above a pub. This means stairs and some noise. It is a really old building with plenty of character which means creaky stairs and corridor and limited soundproofing. However, after closing time(11pm) there is no noise. We had a 'larger' room with a fourposter bed. The room was on the small side but there was room enough to walk around the bed and there was chest of drawers, wardrobe etc. Once again it is an old building so this can be expected. The location is great. Within walking distance of the railway station and all the shops, bars, restaurants, tourist sights. We had our evening meal downstairs in the bar and it was delicious. All of this for the price is a no-brainer. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely room, Plenty of Tea and coffee and towels. Excellent shower comfortable bed. Very good price. This is a really old uneven building.... so even if you are sober you will stagger over the sloping floor!! Ideal if you want the centre of town.

Lovely old pub with really friendly staff. Its an old pub so there is no insulations from the noise of the bar downstairs. Music playing late. Either take earplugs for bed... or join the revellers downstairs!
