I stayed one night, a Tuesday, in room 5, the room itself was okay however it was located above the kitchen and smells from the kitchen found their way into the room, there was a hint of it when I checked in at about 17:00 but when I returned to the room about 21:00 the smell was quite over powering. The windows were shut so this came up through the floor, it was worse in the shower room where a section of pipe casing was missing which could have contributed to the problem. The bathroom extractor fan did not work so no chance of that helping to pull the small out. In addition, the kitchen extractor fan was noisy and ran until about 21:45, when that went off the music from the kitchen was audible and continued until about 22:15. The fan started up again about 07:30. I did report the problem of the small however they were fully booked so couldn’t relocate me. On the plus side the staff were very welcoming and the breakfast, scrambled egg and smoked salmon on toast, was very good, just as well otherwise the rating would have been lower. I think problems like this should be known about and identified by the hotel offering the accommodation, had I known in advance I would have looked elsewhere, needless to say I will not be returning.

Jamie

Liked: Staff & service
The pub was very nice, with friendly staff. The meal was also very good. The room was quite basic, but comfortable specially the bed. However the bathroom tiles around the sink, and inside the mirrored cupboard where not clean splatters of toothpaste from a previous guest maybe! The sink didn’t have a plug for it, and the tap was quite loose. Our room was also above the kitchen, so the noise from the extractor was quite loud, and obviously had cooking smells in the room. Other than these minor things we had a pleasant stay.
