Michael, United Kingdom

Rooms very tired and dated, staff very reluctant to do breakfast and actually suggested we go elsewhere for breakfast.

Lorna, United Kingdom

Friendly very clean lots of coffee in room. Great shower with good water pressure and heat. Nice big soft towels. Very good beer in pub.

Anthony, United Kingdom

Everything was clean and well presented. Staff were great and easy going. Stunning town, especially the inner area with listed buildings and a great church with a cross at the very top which lights up at night. Only went to the bar I was staying at and it was nice enough to stick with. Very warm with a huge shower, one of the best I've been in!

Kevin, United Kingdom

The room was at the back of the pub next to the carpark and I was aware that this may be noisy you to my surprise it was not noisy, just the odd bit of movement. the room was very nicely renovated and was clean and tidy.

Matthew, United Kingdom

Quiet room at rear for a good quiet nights sleep. Very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff.

Tonywf, United Kingdom

I went for a drink,however they would not accept Scottish bank notes unfortunately I dId not have any English bank notes all the staff would say that was their policy. I find this totally unacceptable in this day and age. Surely this must contravene the discrimination act? PS they don't accept Irish notes as well

No fridge or any type of kitchen appliances. I expected there would be. You WILL love the Pub/B&B and its ideal for a short stay. Just remember to take food!
Everything was clean and well presented. Staff were great and easy going. Stunning town, especially the inner area with listed buildings and a great church with a cross at the very top which lights up at night.

“Nice clean room but no wifi in the room so unfortunately not suitable for my needs.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Unfortunately the property was listed as having wifi, but this did not cover the room I was in and as I was away on business I had to work on my laptop using my phone as a hotspot and only had 3g service which was not the best. Also with regards the the room it was a nice size but had to shuffle between the end of the bed and the wall to get from one end of the room to the other. As for the bathroom this is very small and again I found myself having to shuffle into the shower as the door opening is very small around 18 Inches
The room was at the back of the pub next to the carpark and I was aware that this may be noisy you to my surprise it was not noisy, just the odd bit of movement. the room was very nicely renovated and was clean and tidy.

“Room no 3, do not stay in that room.”

Was shown to my room by a very rude lady, presumably the landlady, no welcoming words, opened the door, turned the heating on and thrust the keys in my hand.No internet or phone signal, despite what it says or their website! Room small, could only just past the bed! Wooden stool to sit on! Shower door about 18inches wide, many people would not be able to get in the shower......very, very poor.
