Just back from an overnight stay at the Blue Ball Inn and it was lovely. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, room lovely and clean and has everything you need. We had our evening meal there which was delicious and breakfast the next morning was just as good. Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend

Being so close to our home we enjoy just a short break without too much travel. Brilliant car park, though we do not have a dog, it is dog friendly. Good menu. Room a bit claustrophobic as facing onto main road the windows were closed plus secondary glazing. . We like our windows open with fresh air. It got a bit hot and airless. Lovely clean bed, towels and bathroom. Good powerful shower. Good quality complimentary soaps etc. could have done with a place to put things like make up etc. also Power sockets were not in right place to plug hair dryer in to see in the wardrobe mirror. An old pub burnt down and rebuilt perfectly but modern things like sockets so important. As for Wi-Fi…oops complicated and not successful on a couple of our appliances. Other than these little snags we really enjoyed our short stay of three nights, welcomed by the staff who were very stretched due to staff shortages.

Meet and greet.
We were struggling to shower, we cant use a bath, mobility issues, my wife could not get out of shower without my help. Toilet dirty, needs a good clean, bleach and brushing needs to be a regular item on cleaning jobs. Bar food poor choices, and main meals far to expensive for us, we are both retired and cannot afford this venue. Hosts ok but they never asked how we were etc. The first morning at breakfast 25th. Sept. the lady on duty didnt greet us very well, the attitude was all wrong. I think she was the wife of the manager, if its a 3 star hotel, we were surprised, too expensive for 3 stars. sadly a disapointng stay.

We stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of July 2023. The accomodation, staff and the great restaurant (my wife thought the trout she had one evening was wonderful) were all 5*. Would I stay there again? Most definately....
