The room was very pleasant as were the staff. The only issue was the music in the bar below is on until 11.30pm, which would be a problem if you needed an early night.

Avoid at all costs!
Book 2 nights in a superior room!! So bad we had to abandon and book elsewhere. The music from the bar was SO LOUD and didn't cease until 25 past midnight. Then the goodbyes and tidying up noise began for another 30 minutes. Didn't sleep a wink! Nobody available the following morning to discuss and no answer to calls or emails. Broken glass in car park, broken windows and the beer garden was 2 dirty broken and rotten wooden bench tables. DO Not Book to stay here!!!

I’m not sure what this was like as I didn’t stay. When I arrived the pub was busy and being a woman on my own I felt intimidated to go in. When I asked if I could have my money back I didn’t hear anything back so I assume I will not see that again.

Shared bathroom
The shared bathroom was usually too wet to use from where other occupants had not positioned the shower curtain within the bath - so all spray was on the floor.

Loved staying here it was something very different, the beds were a bit noisy so maybe some new mattresses needed. Would have liked a mirror in the room too! Other than that no complaints, locals downstairs were great and friendly.
