What guests think
The Vine hotel by THEGREATVINE Ltd is a historic, centrally located pub hotel where many guests praise the genuinely friendly staff and value, while rooms are often dated with mixed cleanliness, limited on-site parking, and occasional noise.
Breakfast and pub meals are frequently enjoyed, though quality and availability vary and service can be slow, particularly at busy times or later in the evening. The characterful old building brings uneven floors and steep, narrow stairs, and some guests report weak showers, slow drainage, or heating controls that are hard to adjust. Expect a good-value, central stay with warm service and old-inn quirks.

Parking is a farce, 27 rooms only 12 parking spaces. The whole of the outside area is double yellow lines, so if you don’t get a space you have walk a long way to park your car. What makes it worse they have a system that people who work close by can park at The Vine, how stupid is that. The outside of the building is quaint but the inside needs renovating really bad. Suffice to say we won’t be going there again. Oh by the way we paid over a 1000 pounds for 2 weeks, not worth it.

The staff we're helpful and friendly and well-meaning. The inn is very traditional and a bit of a maze to get around. The bedroom was well proportioned and clean, if a little tired. The mattress was a little soft for me, but comfortable enough. The bathroom left a little to be desired, with standing water stains in the bottom of the bath and around the toilet. There was also a used towel left hanging over the shower rail. My dinner order didn't go through to the kitchen and by the time we spotted it, the chef had gone home for the evening. The staff were really apologetic, however, and refunded the cost with no fuss and comped me a drink. All in all, it was fine for a nights stay on business.

This is a basic pub hotel in serious need of refurbishment. The room was ok, a worn carpet with a couple of stains but clean overall. The bathroom was a disgrace, stains on the sink and mould in the shower cubicle. Everthing looked dirty. Horrible stained lino on tbe floor too. The breakfast and service were good. It's a shame because this is a nice pub, it just needs some investment in the rooms.

What makes this hotel really is the location and the wonderful staff. Nothing is too much trouble and they really couldn’t do enough to please . Friendly, lovely old coaching inn . If you are bothered about creaky floorboards and you can’t manage stairs it’s not for you . Oozing with character and charm. We ate there in the evening and the food was really excellent quality , Breakfast was also very good. The only criticism I could possibly have is that the housekeeper needs to pay a bit more attention to the bathroom cleanliness. Nothing really major but a lot of timescale and a fair bit of black mould on the shower which could have easily been cleaned off . Shame or it would have been perfect .

Lovely looking building. Rooms were tired but comfortable. Bedroom window did not shut so had to sleep with it open. ( not a problem for us and it was a warm night) however our room was above the pub and the music did not really stop until well after midnight. Bathroom was up a couple of steps. Shower ok. Sink too big for room to the point that you had to squeeze yourself pass the sink and shower to go to the toilet. Bathroom needs to be updated and needs to be cleaned to a better standard than what was presented. Staff were lovely but we would not return there. A shame.

Double bed was two singles so you get the inevitable dip in the middle. Toilet was so close to the radiator, having long legs I had to try and not burn my knee. Shower drain was no good. Within 2 mins I was up to my ankles in water so had to keep turning it on and off and the shower leaked so had a lovely wet bathroom floor.

The Vine is the oldest inn in Stafford so uneven walls and floors are to be expected. It would benefit from some updating however. I was in a warm, comfortable but slightly cramped room which was close to a noisy fire door, though I was not disturbed after 11pm. The free parking was very useful and the staff friendly. I felt safe there and would be happy to stay again.

Had a great stay at Vine in Stafford, staff were lovely, food was great, room was great, price was great BUT when we were trying to go to sleep someone in the room above came to back and thudded around like an elephant for about an hour. Every time I nearly fell asleep there would be more REALLY loud banging around. Then, in the morning (a Sunday) at about 8am the banging, thudding, talking, was going on for over an hour again. I was trying to sleep to make up for the disturbed night in the morning but much to my dismay the racket kept waking me up again just as I drifted off. I left Vine feeling EXHAUSTED because of the relentless thudding. It was so loud it almost sounded like they were purposely trying to thud as loud as possible.

The room was stuffy, so the window had to remain opened. Noise until 3am in the street: flushing toilets every 1/2 hour (or water noise?) There was some loud music in the pub opposite, but it stopped at about 9:30pm, so ok. There was no proper restaurant, just basic pub food. As for breakfast, as it is only served from 9am on Sunday, I will have to skip it. Just hope I can get out of the car park before that. Also, money was taken the day before, when it was supposed to be paid "at the property". So much for free cancellation. Also too many emails for confirmation, check in, check out etc Tiresome.

The room was a little tired but this was to be expected at Stafford's oldest inn! The food was good, as was breakfast. However, it was the staff who made the stay memorable. Both ladies were very welcoming and couldn't do enough to help us, even holding our baby for a while when we ate dinner so we could use both our hands! We would happily stay here again.

Meal service was appalling. A major shortage of staff. If staying here strongly recommend going out for meals. We waited over 40 minutes for anyone to even take our breakfast order and then a further 25 minutes for anything to appear. Evening meal no service after 7.45 despite being told the kitchen was open until 8.00pm. told the reason was the chef was stressed and could not cope.

The Vine is a very old and quirky hotel and pub but ideally situated with own free parking. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant.

Dining
Breakfast and pub food are often praised for taste and value, but experiences are inconsistent, with some poor meals, items running out, long waits, and limited hours (e.g., later Sunday breakfast and evening kitchen closing around 8pm).

The property is as expected for its age. Room was small but comfortable. The shower was powerful and hot but needed some TLC. Shower tray and tiles needed a good clean or refurb. My husband cleared a blockage as the shower tray filled up completely with water. The biggest complaint we had was the food. We ate there on the first night and my steak was burnt and very overdone on one side ( ordered medium rare) Also unable to cut until turned over. My husband's burger was also overcooked. Ww mentioned this to staff and she said that she would tell the chef the next day. We could not have asked for any replacement meal as the food was not served after 8pm and the chef was no longer there. The first mornings breakfast was fine but on our second morning, we both ordered omelettes. These were extremely well cooked with black burnt and crispy edges. They were inedible! We told the waitress and the chef. He said when asked that they are always cooked like that. He looked completely shocked and unconcerned. We ended up with cereal and toast! Do not recommend the food at all.

We had a great stay, lovely old building, staff were friendly and very welcoming. The only downside was they had ran out of a lot of food on the menu and our bath emptied as quick as it filled but would stay again.

Very comfortable stay and at a reasonable price. Rooms were very good and clean and the bed was comfortable. It was also nice and quiet. The bar was not well stocked and the service was rather erratic and slow. Dinner on the Sunday evening ended at 8pm and we were advised to order by 7pm so we ended up eating elsewhere. The breakfast however was very good.

The room was stuffy, so the window had to remain opened. Noise until 3am in the street: flushing toilets every 1/2 hour (or water noise?) There was some loud music in the pub opposite, but it stopped at about 9:30pm, so ok. There was no proper restaurant, just basic pub food. As for breakfast, as it is only served from 9am on Sunday, I will have to skip it. Just hope I can get out of the car park before that. Also, money was taken the day before, when it was supposed to be paid "at the property". So much for free cancellation. Also too many emails for confirmation, check in, check out etc Tiresome.

Meal service was appalling. A major shortage of staff. If staying here strongly recommend going out for meals. We waited over 40 minutes for anyone to even take our breakfast order and then a further 25 minutes for anything to appear. Evening meal no service after 7.45 despite being told the kitchen was open until 8.00pm. told the reason was the chef was stressed and could not cope.

Like all old hotels they come with difficulties to clean and maintain. But that's the joy of staying in somewhere that has character and is different. You usually find the staff are more interested too. The Vine was good in all areas, the reception and bar staff were brilliant. No real downsides except Stafford's one way system makes finding the carpark a chore. Once located its no problem next time. Its free and the barrier system makes it safer too.
