I completed the online check in two days before our stay. At the end of the process there was an option to send a message with any questions that I had. I took this option and asked if it would be possible to use the car park before check in (we didn't need an early check in). I never got a response to that message. When we arrived and I spoke to someone inside to ask about using the car park, I was told that I would have to pay the (very expensive) parking fees until the official check in time of 2pm. Had I been given that information in a timely way when I asked, I would have chosen to park elsewhere earlier in the day. That was very disappointing. As part of online check-in I ordered 2 x continental breakfasts. The breakfast menu stated that soya milk would be available but at breakfast we were told that they had no non-dairy milk available. This substantially reduced my companion's menu choices. We both chose a piece of fruit as one of our breakfast menu options, requesting bananas if they had them. On checking, the waitress came back to say that there were only 2 apples and 1 orange available. We were the first two down to breakfast on Saturday and we saw 7 other people come in after us so we were very surprised that so little fruit was available. On the whole, our stay was ok: the room was clean and the beds were comfy, but overall I found its price point too high for the standard provided. If I were to stay in the area again I would seek an alternative.

I booked 3 night stay with group of friends who were cycling in the area. I left after 2 nights as pub was dated, with even more dated bedrooms. Everywhere is in need of updating. Staff friendly. We had breakfast and dinner, food was good pub grub. Service was slow. I stayed in room 10. It was corridor like, dark and gloomy. There was one small window which looked out under stairs to rooms on upper level. Outside area has rubbish and debris on ground. The carpet was stained and worn No storage space. No cupboards or drawers . Tiny bedside shelf only. Overbath shower had poor temperature control. Towels were clean. Bedlinen clean. Bed mattress was very soft
