Great, but Aircon broke
Service and room was great. But room was hot (and this is in winter) air con was locked, so you couldn't lower the temperature, which was annoying. Other than that a nice stay

Disliked: Staff & service
The property itself was fine, it had some character. If you dont mind noise you sleep then youll manage. What turned this into an unpleasant stay was the staffs attitude to tipping. Whilst paying for the first round the staff asked me to "check" the bill. Asking for a tip this way at the bar was new to me and actually suprised me so i just checked the items were correct. Also I thought I was staying for dinner so I didn't tip for the first round, this was met by a slight look of disgust. I went to the bar to get a drink i forgot and the staff were gossiping about tips (coincidence?) When I later realised we weren't staying for dinner I went to tip the staff and they were pretending like tips were an alien concept to them...

The bed was sooo comfortable and cozy. The room and common areas very homey and comfortable. Amenities in our room much appreciated and well thought out. We were easily able to find a meal, felt safe walking in the area. Staff very accommodating. We were able to overcome jet lag and settle in.

A great find and I will definitely stay again
The hotel was ideally located with plenty of nearby (payable) parking. The bar/restaurant was well laid out and the couple of times I walked through seemed to be buzzing. The room was perfect, decorated tastefully and had everything you would need. The inclusive breakfast was excellent with both a continental buffet and a full menu to chose from though you can have both...

Stayed for 2 nights in a Comfy Cabin room over a weekend. I had emailed beforehand, asking for a room with a bath and this was honoured. Room was nice and large-ish for a hotel of this size. The decorations were quaint and thought was definitely put into the wall pictures and decor. Bathroom was great, with large bath and separate shower. Breakfast was great, freshly cooked. Customer service was 5*. Thanks

Too much noise
Everything was wonderful EXCEPT the noise all night long from the bar across the street. My room #2 was at the front of the hotel. The noise finally stopped at 2am. There were earplugs in the night stand, so I guess this is a common problem for guests.

Great pub hotel.
We booked 3 rooms for one night prior to a cruise. The hotel is comfortable, friendly staff. Nice toiletries. Lovely tea and coffee in the room. We had a pleasant evening meal. (There was a 10% discount as hotel guests) The rooms do face the street and a busy junction with several bars and restaurants nearby means there is noise and music outside. (Earplugs found in bedside table were a good bonus!) We would be happy to stay again. Thank you Bridget and Team.

Everything was very clean and all of the staff were friendly. Young man carried luggage up the 4 flights of stairs. We ate in the restaurant 3 times and all of the food was delicious.
