Unsatisfactory experience my partner and I had during our stay here from the 13 th to the 15 th July. We booked our stay through Expedia and expected a relaxing and enjoyable visit, but unfortunately, our experience was far from pleasant. Upon arrival after a 6.5-hour drive from Newcastle, we were greeted with a notice on the external board informing us that the hotel was closed to the public due to an event. This information was not communicated to us at the time of booking or prior to our arrival. When we inquired if this restriction applied to hotel guests, the receptionist confirmed that it did. This effectively confined us to our room for the evening, as we had our dog with us and could not spend the entire evening out at local restaurants or pubs. Additionally, the checkout process was highly unprofessional and inconvenient. On the morning of our departure, I asked if we could leave our bags in bar until we retrieved our car, as there was no parking available on the premises. The manager agreed and instructed us to drop our keys in the night door box and leave our items in the room, assuring us that he would let us back in to retrieve them. However, when we returned at 10:50 AM, just ten minutes before the checkout time, we found the pub doors locked. Repeated calls to the mobile number on the door and the pub's landline went unanswered, leaving us stranded in the rain. We were finally able to enter when another guest happened to open the night door.

Great place to stay
Location was great, 5 min walk from the train station, and central for the city attractions. Ben and the team were really friendly and helpful. The food we had was good value and tasty. We stayed in a 'comfy double'which was spacious and comfortable. The bed was extremely comfortable. Checkout was at 11am which is helpful.

NICE PUB
Business trip. Nice stay nice pub nice staff although and I booked this B&B on the reviews I read (only the top 4 when viewing) if I had seen more reviews on the fact that they didn't do breakfast unless you book directly with them I would of chosen somewhere else. Also noted when leaving/checking-out the property you do so via the night entrance which the stairs down are very steep and you must be very careful if you have heavy or a large case with you. All that being said I did enjoy my stay.

When i booked this pub for a stay, on the website it stated Breakfast included which I paid, On arrival I received a piece of paper with information on it and it said no breakfast. Breakfast was included in the price, waiting for a refund. The room was freezing, the heating was on full, me and my partner was freezing at night. The shower was dirty, the toilet was dirty. I would not recommend this place.

What a lovely gem! Surprisingly quiet once in the room, despite a busy bar. The room felt sumptuous, it was clean and comfortable with all the expected extras (hot drink making facilities, hairdryer etc) Being older guests we managed the stairs reasonably well but it may not suit those with limited mobility, this is due to the historic nature of the building. Breakfast was not offered at the time we stayed but we found plenty of options nearby. We dined in the pub/inn and found that a very good call, although it is a popular place so noise was a slight issue ( very difficult to hold a conversation) but we accepted that as part of the experience. All in all a positive experience and we would return

Pleasant stay
Nice stay in a pub providing rooms above. Building is a bit dated so it was quite cold - the heating didn’t initially work but they sorted it after. Clean bathroom and bed. Very friendly staff who let us check in a bit earlier.
