Good hotel at a good price 👌

Staff were excellent, welcoming and helpful. The hotel does need a little bit of updating however the bedroom was spotless and the bed was super comfortable. The food was good quality and tasty. Definitely recommend this as a quality hotel at a reasonable price!

You get what you pay for. Pleasant but dated.

Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Room was as expected for the price. Very very dated but clean bed linen and clean bathroom. It all needs a fair amount of TLC

Staff superb. Building itself not quite so much.

Staff are absolutely superb. They’re so friendly and service is excellent. The accommodation is tired and rather worn. That said it’s clean and beds are comfortable but the duvet on our bed was tiny and not the size it should have been. Little things like a broken towel rail, uneven, threadbare carpet and an exceptionally shabby headboard just made the room seem down at heel.

First visited The Roebuck some 40 years ago. The property now looks very 'tired' and rather tatty - cracked glass in window panes in entrance door do not make a good impression, some interior and exterior paintwork also needs refurbishment. Otherwise a good stay with a nice clean room and pleasant staff.

Was a bit worried when my room was below ground level but still had a lovely view of the rear gardens. Great for a walk after work and massive car park round the back. Friendly enough but no one around on Friday morning for breakfast. Started at 0700 but i left for work at 0715 without a bacon sandwich which was provided ok on Thursday morning.

DON’T USE THE GREENE KING APP - rude bar staff

The lady on reception was extremely accommodating and friendly. The bar and restaurant is quaint. The only criticism we have is at the bar manager and the mixologist. We were told by reception on arrival that being a Greene King chain we could order our food and drink via app at our table when we went down to dinner which we did, however the mixologist came over to our table and criticised us using the app as he said he didn’t have all the ingredients for the cocktails we were ordering. So we stopped ordering cocktails and moved on to normal drinks. We ordered some snacks to take back to our room also. The bar manager came over with our order and almost chastised us for using the app altogether which we found highly unprofessional. She then went on to say that they have had huge issues with Greene King site as they did not have alot of the drinks and snacks on the website, we asked her why wasn’t it removed as we had seen she had removed one of the cocktails I had previously ordered surely if she can do this going through the whole menu to do this would save all this hassle no?! We were completely disappointed at the attitude of the 2 members of staff especially as the mixologist came back over to have another go, by this time the bar was full and people were staring at the confrontation. Totally disappointing as the young waiters and the food were amazing shame the 2 senior members weren’t so polite. Nice budget hotel other than this and bed is comfy

The property is beautiful and the room is comfy. Beautiful gardens and my window opened to a lovely lawn with a swing from a tree and great fresh air. Room was well decorated and seemed clean except there was a slight smell of mildew when I first came in. Allergies acted up a bit. The breakfast options were awesome - had traditional English breakfast one day and poached eggs with salmon another day. Great coffee and tea and biscuits in the room fresh daily. Within walking distance is a wonderful garden center with gift shop and behind it is a jewel of a tea shop called Hybrid where they make amazing food and drinks, and there’s a balcony overlooking gorgeous green pastures and there are robin’s hopping around and cheerful staff. Regarding the Roebuck hotel staff, most were very kind and helpful but there was one lady who was very difficult. I tried to make a call out of my room and couldn’t. Called front desk and was told the phone to my room is not working, and she asked me who I was trying to call. I said just a taxi because my cell is not working with the WiFi here. (That’s another thing the WiFi is spotty). Then the lady said that they’re going to charge me for an international call. She seemed to be very negative. I said I’m just trying to call a taxi. So I had to go to the front desk and got another nicer employee who kindly ordered me a cab. But the rest of the staff were great. Overall good stay.
