Good value for money however as a non smoker I didn’t like the stale smoke smell. No curtains was a bit weird to close off street lights. Bathroom shower head and around door could do with a clean

More review may seem a little unfair as I’m normally used to staying at medium to high-end chain hotels. Checking is at the bar, the staff with friendly and accommodating and showed me to my room. There was no issue with any noise coming up from the pub at all and the room was comfy and functional. The ensuite bathroom is a little on the small side, and there is no heating in the room at all, there was a radiator, but nothing heat wise coming from it at all. The pub itself is situated at crossroads in the town and because the windows are single glazed and old style sash windows noises to be expected, however, two of the windows didn’t close properly and the one in the bathroom rattled every time of vehicle passed. The bed was comfy as pillows, however, due to the traffic noise I was awaited at 6:30 when the buses started to run. It was fine as a one night accommodation, where I wasn’t spending much time in the room, but it would not be my ideal choice to return. Please bear mind, I have been quite harsh with this review, but also truthful, but I’m reviewing it against where I would normally stay, a Crowne Plaza or a Hilton Hotel. The pub itself seem very busy with a lot of people eating there and seemed like a good atmosphere, because it is in the town. It is ideally placed for walking to & from the shops and the numerous other bars and restaurants that are around it.
