The hygiene in the room was horrible, the bedsheets looked very unsanitary, and lock on the room looked as if someone had tried to pry it open. The pillows were very flat and flimsy which were signs that everything provided was very old and overused. We felt very unsafe and uncomfortable during our stay.

Spacious room, nice kitchenette and basic accommodation. The room was a little tired and smelled a bit musty, but very clean and I slept well. Check-in was straight forward enough at the bar and very nice bar staff member. Several buses can be caught very nearby and it’s around 10 minutes into town (£2 single or £4 day pass). I would stay again :)

Had a very enjoyable stay,, you check in at the bar in the pub. Very quick and friendly room was very clean. Stayed in room 1. Bathroom looked like it had a refurb. Only downside was no remote for the tv, but landlady said it was on order, no problem as can turn over with the buttons. Whilst having a drink in the bar we spoke to the landlady and she said she had only been there 12 weeks so was trying to get the pub back up and going after being closed for a while.

Good accommodation and pleasant staff.
Basic but good accommodation. Just a shame that they no longer serve food.
