Stayed here for 1 night as we booked the night before bank holiday and everywhere else was booked. It was sleepable, easy enough to live in for 1 night. But otherwise unclean, the bedding on one bed had stains, the shower had hair in it, and the cavity between the wall and shower cubicle was choc full of cobwebs, and the bathroom door handle was just about hanging in there.

Good for the price. Clean room and comfortable bed. No meals onsite so asked girl behind the bar for ding options. Not much help , said McDonalds and a takeaway down the road . Turns out we found a choice of two good pubs! Only five minutes round the corner. Overall ok.

Lovely room, beds let it down.
Lovely big light airy room. Friendly staff. Unfortunately, two of the beds squeaky badly. I slept on the (comfortable) matress in the floor. A shame as otherwise, it was a lovely place! An easy fix i would think.

Cheap and cheerful but no lie in
You get what you pay for. If you’ve opted for a budget stay then don’t expect too much glamour. Hotel receptionist was friendly and helpful. Could do with redecorating but room was clean. Only disappointment was being woken up early by the cleaners crashing about long before check out time.

Terrible nights stay
Bed was vedy uncomfortable full of springs, room was tiny, and a group of lads decided to have a party in their room so i was up until 5am with loud music and very thin walls, i will never stay in a hotel above a pub ever again.

Needs updating
Staff could not have been more helpful. Just a shame that there were other I considerate guests who kept me awake for some considerable time during the early hours on the 2nd night. My hotel bedroom needed the towel rail replaced as well as some further updating.

Great staff and pub!
Hotel is within a nice pub with some lovely locals and all staff are very nice and helpful. The pub has plenty of tv for sport but does not do food. However plenty of takeaways nearby and can eat in the bar area whilst enjoying one of there many pints! Room was clean and bed was comfy. Also great full English in the morning too! Great value for money

Fabulous customer service skills, do not hesitate to help and assist with any of your extra needs. I asked to change room as I could hear noise from the next room. They did it straight away. The rooms are clean, free WiFi and parking and the breakfast is second to none.

Good night's sleep
Found the hotel easily enough, staff very welcoming. Room was a nice size for a family. Beds really comfy. In need of a bit of love & attention, re-decorating, as wallpaper torn. Updating the furniture would be nice although what there is does the job. Breakfast was excellent. I would stay there any time if I was in the area.

Comfortable, hospitable and welcoming
Room was spacious and furnishings seemed quite old, as was the decor. The hotel could use an upgrade if sufficient funds were available, but we had a nice, newly installed shower room in our room. The beds were comfy and we had a great time just relaxing in the comfort of our room. The staff were very affable and welcoming and they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The free breakfast was substantial and very filling. Thanks very much for being so hospitable. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

I wanted to give it a one. Like the hour they finally stopped the eighties cover band at the bar below. But i went with the two in deferrence to when the drunk girl in the room down the hall slammed her door. This place has to decide if it is a bar or a hotel. I only stayed here because the Duke was full and the other places rely on access codes instead of employees and that always seems to be an issue. The place had clean towels. Walls were marked. Drafty. Tv kept losing signal. Owner never came back to fix despite promising. They use liquid soap. Water pressure was weak. Walls thin. Bfst was just cereal. Next to junkyard and rugby field. Juke box is noisy when no live music. Barrow has nothing to recommend it. Even the train out of town didnt want to come.Other than that, it was a dream.
