    Carpet seemed alittle old and worn as did the sofa bed. Our son squeezed in our bed as I didn't really trust the sofa bed. But I'm very fussy. Probably wouldn't bother most people.

    The room was fantastic. Our son loved the mezzanine floor. Very comfy bed. And Spa bath was a lovely surprise. The toiletries were really nice too and plenty of fresh clean towels. Plenty of tea and coffee stuff too. Staff were lovely, very busy during meal times, but still all happy to help and never too busy to help. Bit of a wait for food, but never bothered us as all delicious and we were in no rush.

    There is no one at the property after 9pm, no first aider or security on site. No WiFi and it was as if we were in a blind spot for signal so if there was an emergency, you’d be stuck to try and contact anyone. Check out is at 10am but no one is there until 12 so you just post your keys, there’s no one to actually speak to about your stay. The website shows the pub is open from 12-11pm, this is not the case. We stayed on a Friday and a Saturday night and on both nights the pub closed at 9pm. On the second night I actually asked the girl behind the bar what time they closed and she said 9pm unless people were still drinking, there were still a few people in the pub itself but by 9:10 we were tucked up in the room. We had an issue with the shower in our room, once you turned it on, you got wetter outside the bath than inside. It appeared the hose was faulty and someone had tried to repair it with PTFE tape very badly. Only noticed this the Friday evening as we didn’t arrive until late on, couldn’t report it until Saturday afternoon as we had a trip booked at 12 and there is no one at reception until 12pm. By the time we returned from our trip it was after 5pm. Reported the issue to reception and the lady was lovely, explaining she had only taken it over 8 weeks ago so was still repairing faults. We were offered a room change but it just seemed pointless by that point as we would’ve had to pack up everything and unpack again. The walls are paper thin so you can literally hear everything in the rooms either side, we had a couple of guys in the room next to us on the Saturday who had a dog with them, the dog spent the evening howling all throughout the night even though the hotel states no dogs allowed. The owner knew they had a dog as the 2 guys were also in the pub with the owner when we returned from our trip on the Saturday. There is only a Yale lock on the door but you.

    The food in the pub was nice and the staff were friendly. The beds were really comfy too. Only issue with the beds was one of the beds didn’t seem put together very well so the slightest movement and the whole bed looked like was going to fall apart. It was in an ideal location for our trip booked.

    The accommodation was basic but it has to be said that the owners had only recently purchased the property and were in the process of refurbishing. Under the circumstances it was adequate for my purpose.

    it was very quiet and fairly secluded.

    The walls are very thin and could hear next door , who were up til the early hours! (Obviously the hotel cannot control inconsiderate guests!) The sofa bed mattress was well used and didn't seem to fit the frame.

    We enjoyed the maisonette layout of the rooms here. It felt spacious and suited us as a family of 4.The convenience of a restaurant on site was appealing. The staff were welcoming, attentative and helpful.

    My partner had to fix the radiator to get them to work. Not enough bath towels , no bathrobes. Side wall lights didn't work . Latch on door is unsecured. We did appreciate our upgrade on room as the blonde lady said our first room had been discounted to £100 as the spa bath didn't work and the control knobs were not attached . We also couldn't find the swimming pool and there was no staff available in the morning before check out to help us get things we had left in the previous room . Would have been nice to get a breakfast. Too. When we checked in the blonde lady told us something completely different about our room than we were told on booking.com and by the lady we spoke to on the phone . The blonde lady also interrupted our dinner to go on about some security deposit .?? Very confusing as staff were efficient and courteous and knowledgeable but the blonde lady kept telling us completely different things !

    We loved the room and the bath , we loved the restaurant service ! Lovely quiet location we really enjoyed seeing all the friendly little birds on our balcony in the morning.

    The bed was a wooden frame and you couldn't sit on it without it creaking and moving so we resorted to moving the mattress onto the floor so that we could have a good night's sleep. A slight movement and I imagine it would wake you. There is no hair dryer or iron in room. Possibly available from the reception?? It advertises as a Restaurant but I would just call it a pub. Food is average.

    The apartment and bathroom was clean. I liked having the split floors. Downstairs had a sofa and TV to relax in front of. Stairway up to bedroom area. Comfy mattress. Clean bedding. Pub on site so no need to travel for food and refreshments.

    The property was very dark. Window in the room m, the glass was obviously substandard and needed replaced as it was all steamed up. stain on the centre of the carpet was unsightly. the room was a comfort room but the shower wasn’t very good. it didn’t work properly and no pressure from the handset, my husbands shower went cold. The raised areas on the disabled shower were painted black and the paint was flaking off while having a shower. There was only one tap on the wash basin that didn’t work properly. We realised later that it was a dual hot and cold tap but the top cover on the tap was missing so we thought it was just a cold tap, not a good idea in a bathroom - instructions above the tap would have been helpful. Security not good on the inside of the property. Just a Yale lock! The inside of the lock on the door was fitted with a piece of metal over it to stop you putting the lock on therefore it left it insecure overnight or during the day if you left your room unattended. The green safety Exit Light lit up the room all night therefore kept us awake. People were shouting outside, we had to get up to ask them to quieten down.

    the room was very bare no wardrobe just a hanging rail, no chairs, no sockets near the head of the bed or any usb points very dark in the room and a bulb had gone on one side of the bed making it even darker, overall quiet disappointed and also £70 for a bare room with no breakfast ...

    obviously there was no breakfast which i knew, we ate in the restaraunt in the evening but by the time we had finished eating about 9pm the place was empty
