Must do better
Accommodation itself was basic but serviceable. Comfort was disappointing given there was no hot water or heating. And with this being an outside courtyard room it was particularly cold. Breakfast was ok but not special. Service mediocre.

Really enjoyed our stay, lovely friendly staff and the food was very nice. My only negative was that we were staying in rooms accessed by crossing the gravel car park. The gravel was slippery in the ice and needed a bit of sand and their was no outside lighting. Other than that, lovely and will definitely come again.

Hotel was nice , the food is lovely and the staff are too. my only gripe was in my room, room 3 the aerial didnt fit the tv so nothing to watch when i went to my room. I stated in the same room in January 23 and it was the same. I spoke to night manager, who looked at it. and couldnt fix it. he mentioned taking something off my bill and then said he would look to see if he had another room but he didnt come back to me.

Not the best nights sleep
Room very dark and bed needed a new mattress. No window to open so went to put tower fan on in middle of night and the top came away from bottom. On a good note the breakfast was fabulous.

Ok stay, good food,
nice room, good food, we had dinner in the restaurant as well as breakfast, service in the evening was not the best, other than the manager who was very good and squeezed us in at the last minute, but the the young waitress in the evening would benefit from some training in basic customer skills, she didn't smile once, asked us if we wanted desert menus when she cleared our starter plates?? then when we did request desert meus she just dropped them on the table and walked off. We had room3 which was a good size, and clean, but there were areas that have obviously been missed, behind the door in the bathroom the skirting boards were covered in dust, the bedside lamps were the same, which as the rest of the room was very clean seemed strange. the room would benefit from thick curtains instead of the double blind, and there is a noise issue, from outside, when people were leaving the pub, and possibly from other establishment's along the road, but it sounded like a football match had turned out, which went on until 12.30am and then again at 3am there were people outside, not a lot the pub can do about this, but worth knowing if are considering staying, ask for a room at the rear of the building. We would have not have wanted to stay longer in the room we had, but when we booked it was the only room available, other rooms looked to be of a good size and as above there are rooms to the rear of the property that may be less noisy.
