Renovated room was very comfortable, and bodes well for the other areas of the hotel that are still rather tired.

Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room was a little dated but very clean & I really appreciated the complimentary breakfast hamper which was a lovely surprise
Room was clean and spacious, no hanging space for clothes though? And we were in room 14 which was over a very noisy bar.

We were in one of the refurbished rooms which was vey clean, however there is obviously still some additions that are required in the main areas that look very drab and neglected.
The heating in the bedroom was good but the en-suite bathroom had no heating at all and was so cold you didn't want to shower in there, the addition of some form of heating is needed here .A bin in the bathroom and some sort of shelf to put your own bits and pieces on would be useful.A mirror in the bedroom would be a good addition.
The breakfast hamper and small chiller is a nice touch and was useful.
Overall the stay was good and once the renovations are complete we are sure it will all look lovely.
The room was beautiful!! It’s recently been done apparently, and there was a lovely hamper and fridge with food and drinks included. The only issue was the shower wasn’t amazing and was hard to get to the right temperature. Otherwise staff super lovely to and great pub! Highley recommend - Lauren
