Very convenient location, quiet, friendly and considerate staff, cosy old world pub atmosphere, adequate room facilities and plenty of room space. Excellent evening meal. Perhaps a little sprucing up needed but without modernising

Warm welcome when we arrived, shown to our room and given general information on our stay, emergency contact, breakfast times etc. Restaurant pub area was warm and inviting, drinks value for money. Opted not to have breakfast as had early start the following day. Room was clean and tidy, and the bed was very comfortable and both was a generous size. And will be more than happy to stay again when in the area.

Fantastic pub / bar / restaurant with accommodation. Good parking area with friendly and helpful staff. The room I had was faultless, clean and spacious. Free and fast WiFi, with several USB charging sockets in the room too. My only real disappointment was hearing the kitchen had a fault and couldn't serve hot food. Furthermore to this I overheard staff talking and saying the Area Manager was phoned about the issue and simply complained about taking a phone call on Saturday evening! (Disgusting from a person such a position). I hope somebody picked up on his attitude and the necessary action taken. I would recommend it here and would definitely stay again.

Stayed here a few times. It’s pretty no nonsense and great value. A minor quibble this stay was intermittent water running from some kind of header tank in or above my room. This caused me to wake up a few times. The bed is very comfortable though and you don’t want to get out of it!! The location is ideal for access to the M5 and the property has a great sized car park for a large van. Had food which on all occasions has been well cooked, tasty and good value for money. Staff are very pleasant and helpful, you also get shown to your room and a few things get explained to you. Will definitely stay again when working in the area.

Stayed three nights. Ate in restaurant for 3x breakfast and 1x dinner. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and are the hotel's biggest asset. The food and bar service were very good and decent value. Only gripe here is the tables always seem sticky? Seen this before were the cleaners used reacts with the table varnish. That's a shame as it doesn't feel welcoming. The room (5) was OK but not great. The bed was good and all linens nice and clean. The bathroom was a disappointment though. Flaking paint, rusty radiator and a sticky floor, plus the toilet cistern wasn't properly attached to the wall. Biggest issue was the creaking floor above the room. Really noisy at night whenever anyone moved around in the room above. Also, lots of road noise as the window doesn't seal well. Overall, an OK experience. We'd visit again for the staff service and food but would certainly hope bathrooms had been improved.

I’m glad I only stayed here one night. The room smelt musty and felt damp. There was bits of what looked like puff pastry on the floor. The bathroom was very small and very dated. Plus side the towels were large and clean. You can hear everything from the room above and at one point I thought they were going to come through the ceiling. Very expensive for what you get.

When we checked in the girl on reception was a little abrupt and not that friendly. she didn't advise of any breakfast times, wifi codes...nothing really. The room itself was fairly clean...along with a few squashed bugs on the wall. It did smell rather damp, especially in the bathroom. The shower had no adjustment and you literally had to step into it no matter what the temperature, or having spraying water all over the floor. There wasn't a shower cap, but there was soap. I wouldn't choose to stay here again.

Great place to stay very reasonable price wise, if you don’t have your own transport it’s not the best for access to taxi’s etc but that’s not the fault of the venue just the remote location. There is a train station 10 mins drive away but not easy to access by foot.
