I liked the bathroom and convenience, they were very clean. I did not like the smell in the room and also the bed sheets needs to be changed as soon as an occupant checks out.

This was our first time using this website. The hotel was basic, We were not asked about what we required for breakfast. My wife does not eat a cooked breakfast normally. The breakfast was good, nice bacon, eggs but the sausages were not the best. There was no soap either in the shower or. toilet. The toilet had a leak on the outflow which l repoorted.

Good value for money with full english breakfast. Was on a main road so the young bikers going by were a bit annoying over revving their bikes. It was a shared separate shower and toilet both looking modern as if they had both been renovated recently there was only two of us staying so it wasn't an issue. The one thing i did not like was the black coloured sheet on the bed, all shetts should be white for obvious teasons.

Fantastic little b&b at a pub. Very good bar prices. Billy and staff made me feel like family. Room very clean. Breakfast too much for me, so 2nd day just had toast and really good coffee. Must mention the shower. Incredible! Jets and spray. Thanks Billy and Janet at the Vyvyan .

Overall experience was mixed. Upon arriving I was greeted by a friendly owner/manager who took me upto my room, passing the enormous fishtank (🤔) and gave me a quick layout of the place. Leaving me to it I was given the choice of when I wanted my breakfast the next morning which was good 👍 Unfortunately from there on in, the experience deteriorated... There was food and a bottle of coke (see photos) left from the previous occupant, no toiletries were provided for a shower, bed and floorboards were extremely creaky and when the room next door turned in bed it shook my own bed. I expected noise from the pub downstairs but didn't expect it to be exactly as loud as it was. Biscuits provided were out of date by the time I finished my 3 night trip and the best thing about the traditional breakfast was the toast and cereal beforehand. Accommodation providers were friendly and location was pretty good however shame the rest let it down.

The rooms are above a pub but I must say it wasn’t noisy. The carpets, fireplace, ledges and edges all dirty with dust and grime. Many grimy corners as well. Smells funny as well. The day I arrived I was so embarrassed I started looking for another hotel but none was available at that short notice . The breakfast was also the worst. Don’t let me get started on that. One star hotel. I wish I can get my money back Place needs renovations and modernisation. Shared toilet but it was clean. The overall smell of the place is just not good Needs airing out. And please don’t try any adult stuff on the squeaky beds. Tip, lay the pillows on the floor

This was our first time using this website. The hotel was basic, We were not asked about what we required for breakfast. My wife does not eat a cooked breakfast normally. The breakfast was good, nice bacon, eggs but the sausages were not the best. There was no soap either in the shower or. toilet. The toilet had a leak on the outflow which l repoorted.

The rooms are above a pub but I must say it wasn’t noisy. The carpets, fireplace, ledges and edges all dirty with dust and grime. Many grimy corners as well. Smells funny as well. The day I arrived I was so embarrassed I started looking for another hotel but none was available at that short notice . The breakfast was also the worst. Don’t let me get started on that. One star hotel. I wish I can get my money back Place needs renovations and modernisation. Shared toilet but it was clean. The overall smell of the place is just not good Needs airing out. And please don’t try any adult stuff on the squeaky beds. Tip, lay the pillows on the floor

Clean and comfortable room, liked the fact you could smell the bedding was freshly cleaned. Good breakfast each morning and fairly central to all amenities

Fantastic little b&b at a pub. Very good bar prices. Billy and staff made me feel like family. Room very clean. Breakfast too much for me, so 2nd day just had toast and really good coffee. Must mention the shower. Incredible! Jets and spray. Thanks Billy and Janet at the Vyvyan .
