Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The first room we were given was filthy so moved to another, again this was poorly cleaned, tissues under chair, hairs in the shower, an old razor left in the shower and walls stained. We cancelled a second night there.
The bar was nice and food was delicious.
The rooms need updating and thorough cleaning. Shame because it could be so much more
We have stayed hear several times and always had fantastic service and excellent food , this time was the first time that we required breakfast on a Friday and was disappointed that the choice was only continental,
This is marketed as a 4 star hotel however I was very disappointed.
The food was lovely however the service very poor.
A brief summary:
- not cheap
- couldn't check me in due to 'computer problem', needed me to show my email booking receipt
- I had pork skewers (lovely) but I had to ask for cutlery.
- I had fillet steak (excellent) for dinner but wasn't offered any condiments. The server even left my dirty skewer plate on the table when delivering the steak. I had finished the skewers late afternoon.
- The toilets for the bar area were tired, lots of broken tiles and a bit smelly.
- Room 3 was nice however very warm, it was difficult to access the heater controls due to a shelf directly above the heater.
- Toilet seat was broken.
- Couldn't lock the front door from the inside.
I wouldn't recommend staying here

Disliked: Staff & service
Not bad, not great
The location was ideal and the room was good. Bathroom need an update and maybe a desk in the room.
However, no cooked breakfast in the morning. Just 2 bread loaves, ham, cheese and cereal plus some tired looking pastries. This was not mentioned at check-in
The arrival at The Knife and Cleaver was wonderful. Staff helped me with the luggage and room 9 was both clean and impressive. Nice seperate seating area and outside patio was a bonus in the room.
Well equipped and warm. WiFi was not so good but free inside the pub.
We ate at the restaurant for the two nights. Food was okay first night. Second night not so good. No atmosphere either and staff consistently just giggling or calling you guys!
All in all, the hotel side of the pub was well worth the money. Would definitely stay again.
Would have another hit at the restaurant but maybe in the daytime instead.
Check in took 15 minutes due to Manager standing 3 metres away training new waiting staff. Waited for 5 minutes to be seated although both new waiting team were standing 5 metres away and did not even bother to engage with me. I left and went back to my room. The bedroom was very nice until i got into bed, the most uncomfortable mattress i have ever slept in.
