    It was a little on the snug side with no bedside table and no breakfast but that is understandable and clearly written on the booking. All in all fabulous stay.

    It was clean and in prime location for a wedding I was attending. Lively and reasonably priced drinks. Great mattress, clean bathroom, toiletries and clean towels. Catriona and all the staff were super friendly and wonderful, made my stay even embetter and great recommendations for the area.

    A great friendly old style no frills pub with good honest food and attentive staff, I was made very welcome and shown to my room, I ordered a meal from the menu and it was lovely. This is the type of hospitality that large hotel chains seem to have lost and it was a very nice change to have stayed at this place. A massive surprise also was that they had FREE parking unlike the large greedy hotel chains who think its ok to charge an extra £10 to stay in the car park of the hotel I will definitely look to stay again next time I am in Sheffield.

    Bathroom has no hooks or shelves to put things. There was nowhere to sit other than the bed or the floor. No bedside tables and lamps. If the room next door opened their door I couldn't open mine. No information in the room about the WiFi, had to ask at the bar.

    The bed was comfortable, it was very clean, like the access so you didn't have go through the pub, no parking issues. Although it is on a main road we were not disturbed. Welcome was good.

    Would have liked to know in advance and breakfast availability and serving hours for meals.

    Stay was as expected, classic pub, comfortable, clean rooms, value for money meals and drinks - not a high end hotel/B&B just a good solid pub with a few rooms. Staff very friendly. Rooms clean and comfortable.

    There was nothing that springs to mind.

    Great location if using Sheffield Utilita Arena, just a 7 min drive. Very clean room, small but perfectly adequate with very comfortable beds and tea/ coffee making facilities in the room. Pub was good, with locals very friendly. Highly recommend if you want comfortable, clean accommodation at a decent price. Just a tip, if you want breakfast you need to book it at time of booking. Will definitely stay here again if visiting Sheffield or the arena.

    Shared bathroom which was reflected in the pricing. You were at the mercy of how other guests leave the facilties. But there was loo roll and soaps etc. On the plus side it was right next to my room.

    Staff were very helpful, and it was perfectly located for my trip. The room was a good large size with twin beds. Comfy beds and pillows, good tea making facilities with plenty or tea bags, milks and decent size cups. I was very comfortable and content. WiFi available. Parking on site. Good value for money. I ended up travelling alone in the end so was grateful the room wasn't expensive. There was a TV in the room, remote minus batteries.. I'm sure staff would've sorted it but it was late and I just watched my phone instead. Nice temperature I was warm and cosy. I would stay again if I attend the same event next year.

    The only criticism we have is on Booking.Com it says they do breakfast but that's incorrect. Also only one towel in our room so may want to bring your own if you're planning on showering, especially if like us you're sharing with colleagues, some of which are big lads! Food is only served until 2pm on a Saturday so get there early if you're planning on eating there.

    We had a work event at a venue pretty much right next door so ideal location and well suited for that. Really accommodating and was great that they had just the right amount of rooms and beds to put us all up. The staff was very friendly and comfortable beds.

    Quite loud being joint to a pub (especially during England game!) but wasn't loud for too long (didn't interrupt my sleep). Felt slightly exposed being next to main road. Room was small but had everything you needed

    Staff were lovely and accommodating. Excellent value for money. Food was good.
