Very comfortable stay with a good atmosphere

The staff at the pub were very friendly and the atmosphere was great. The room was as advertised, spacious with a comfy bed, Freeview TV, and ensuite which was a little snug but perfectly usable. The room got a little cold and I couldn't find a way to fully close the bathroom window but that didn't matter too much once I was under the duvet. I was warned that I was staying above a pub on a weekend even so, the noise never got too loud or disruptive, if anything it made my solo stay feel a little less solo. My only gripe was finding parking was a little challenging, I ended up parking behind the pub after getting a little lost down some one-way roads.

Fine as a bed for the night - but it's a pub downstairs until midnight, so dont expect an early night. Quite shabby, smells damp, and grimy. Arrive late, sleep and leave early is my advice. That's what I did.

A value for money clean bed for the night

The room was absolutely fine for one night's solo travel as I went to a friend's party. I didn't want to spend a fortune and the room was a good price in the right location. I hadn't expected tea and coffee making facilities, nor a hairdryer but was pleasantly surprised with both. The bed was comfy and clean. It's over a pub with a late license so there was a bit of noise but not enough to cause an issue. The bathroom was compact and apart from the mouldy seals in the shower it was clean. It did smell a bit damp/mouldy too.

Did not like anything - we actually booked another hotel and stayed else where and came back in the morning to collect luggage as we had rush to go to an event in the evening. Would not recommend this property at all was very dirty and grimy - dust and mould throughout.

I was told on arrival that the room is not part of the pub and is on and airbnb basis and is self contained. There was no food options available at the site. There was team and coffee in the room on arrival but these were not replenished during my 3 night stay. I chose this accommodation for convenience when visiting friends but probably would not use this accommodation again.

Would not recommend. There was no hot water to the bathroom sink and had to use the shower to fill the sink. The shower tiles and shower door was filthy with black mould. I was informed on check in that the pub quiz was on till 10pm and music till 11pm. It was very loud till then. Don’t stay here is you want an early night. Understand this is above a pub. There was parking to the rear on a road but the area felt very unsafe. It was also lovely to find a used make up remover pad next to the bed. See photo

The pub below had loud music and pa on till 1155 . I was told there was a quiz on till ten . The lighting to the room from the deck area is poor and a hazard . The room was cold and the street out side was very noisy . Never again for me . Plus no food available, either tea or breakfast. Had ask for milk for the room to make a cup of tea.Or told buy some across the road from the shop .

Mixed bag

I had seen online before arriving that it was on-street parking but I hadn't realised it can't be on the road the pub is on as it's a high street. We had to drive around a bit to find a space and certainly the roads and parking are very busy in the local area. When we arrived the staff were lovely and showed us up to the room. Be aware it was up a steep wooden staircase so not great for poor mobility. The pub itself seemed lovely and friendly and was running a quiz the night we stayed. The room itself was really cute, it's certainly an old building but it was clean, warm, bed was comfy and TV was all good. The shower in the morning was nice and warm and powerful enough, also lots of really nice smelling toiletries were provided. I had an issue with the shower tray becoming full but after some fiddling with the drain that resolved itself. Sadly I only realised there was no tea or coffee as I went to make it at 7am. We had seen the kettle, milk, sugar and biscuits etc but didn't notice the absence of actual drink. We did a full desperate search but to no avail. Now sadly my negative, I expected noise being in a room at a pub. It was very loud, as in could hear the questions in the quiz. That was all fine, however when the post quiz music was still going at 11.30pm I got a little concerned. Unfortunately following this when everyone left the noise outside the thin windows was terrible, bathroom window didn't close which didn't help. Sadly this meant little sleep

I feel like it's a 2.5 star experience. To access our room, we had to go up poorly lit, slippery outdoor steps. The room was okay. There was a kettle with a nicely stocked coffee bar, plenty of Lotus biscuits and very pretty mugs and saucers. There was also a hair dryer, drawers, and clothing rail. Unfortunately the WiFi didn't work and the bathroom in room 1 was incredibly small and mouldy with a broken extractor fan. Not being able to feel clean made my stay a lot less enjoyable.

Acommodation itself was generally good. Clean and well presented although showing some signs of needing refreshing - shower base and kettle. Listing suggests this is a pub with rooms. It is not. This is a pub with privately owned letting rooms above it. Due to general area security at entrances and external stairs leading to rooms could be worrying to some guests. Lack of nearby secure parking can also be a concern. That all said rooms were good enough for me to consider staying again if the price was right.

Overall a very good stay. Had no issues with noise or sleep. It's a room above a pub so I wasn't expecting a hotel experience or service. But I did expect it to be clean, which it wasn't. Bathroom needs a good scrub and dusting and the floors need to be hoovered at least.

Issues, sorted and great nights sleep

Ok, so i had issues checking in but things go wrong and the staff were absolutely amazing. Issues sorted, kept informed, apologised profusely and kept me amused in the bar. Superb service. There is an outside staircase, little rickety but safe and leads to a roof terrace which is lovely. The room was clean, fresh, probably the most comfortable stay i've had in a long time. No noise from the pub but ill know more next week, yes im booking again. Thanks guys!
