Great pub with 4 rooms in Eckington. Check-in was easy at the bar. The room was nice, bed huge and bathroom clean and functional. The room could benefit from having blackout curtains fitted. However that's the only criticism. We ate dinner in the pub and it was high-end pubfood - delicious too! All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

The major problem was the discrepancy between expedia booking confirmation (booking in from 1pm), and the property email which I was unaware of, stating the venue is closed until 6pm. Property condition was poor, with quite a smell from the en suite bathroom. The electric shower was very difficult to control. Staff were helpful and breakfast was good.

It was a place to put your head down but unfortunately that is all it was. The bed was by far the worst I have slept on in a very long time. I think you need to replace all the beds, this is a huge focus for hotels and was overlooked here.

The room was quite small but the bed was comfortable and the duvet wonderful. The room would have benefited from having a chair. The freshly cooked breakfast was very good!

A superb choice within easy travel distance of the Upton Blues Festival - our main reason for staying. Exceptionally friendly, very welcoming, very cosy and great food (breakfasts were superb and huge!). Will be staying there again. Thanks to everyone for giving us a great 3 days - and making the washed out (pouring with rain!) Saturday totally enjoyable at your place!
