The Pheasant Inn

Really friendly little pub with decent selection of ales. The room was spotless and cosy with an immaculate ensuite with plenty of toiletries,so I dont understand the grumpy reviews that people have given for a single room as the clue is in the name. Friendly locals in pub, even got offered to buy a drink and the breakfast was cracking. Not posh but I like that as the place was full of character and characters. I would definitely stay here again if I needed to. Lovely to see a place that is not boring and soulless.

Arrived on foot from the nearest bus stop. The pub hanging sign is missing so i entered the premises and confirmed with the cheery lady working the bar that i was in the right place😁 After the paperwork was completed i had to pay a £50 non-smoking deposit which i expect to see refunded onto my card. I was shown to room 13, a single room, as booked and also shown where the washroom was. The room contained a kettle, tea, coffee, a fan, a nightlight and a small flat screen TV, so was well appointed. The time for breakfast was also discussed and selected. All the staff i encountered were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was cereal, toast and also a cooked meal as well. Fried egg, grilled tomato, baked beans, 2 sausages and 3 rashers of bacon. Perfect! On leaving, i asked where the nearest bus stop was which headed out of town. Turns out that it is right opposite the pub! Again, perfect! For those driving, there is a car park accessible to the rear of the property via Chiltern Road.

Friendly staff. Lively but friendly atmosphere.

I know it was inexpensive and it is a pub, but... Public space looked in need of upgrade. Tired worn threadbare seating, uncomfortable chairs. smell of smoke from outside areas permeated the building. Dreadful carpet in bar and stairs to bedroom had us dreading opening the bedroom door. Worst were the really creaky floors in the bedroom so you couldn't sneak to the bathroom without waking partner Dark blue sheets- a massive No-no for me -I couldn't get in so slept on top. and the uncontrollable shower head which squirted just 4 jets at force. Missing toilet roll holder and towel holder so there was not a lot of space to put anything. The bedroom looked clean enough but the window was small and high so no view whatsoever. As we were 3foot from a brick wall this was ventilation only. On the positive, staff were warm and professional. Cooked breakfast was good and quickly served although bacon a bit fatty for our taste preference. would I stay here again? only if there was nowhere else in my price bracket. Don't think it is geared up for tourists, more worker accommodation. Hope this doesn't offend.

The steps to the room were like Mountain climbing without a banister We had a shared bathroom with all i can think is some animals in the morning someone or something had gone in and pooed all over the toilet and had done a very bad job of clearing it up.The whole place is quite shabby.It will teach me not to go cheap £65

We booked this hotel for one night as we had an event around the area and it was starting at 12:00pm until about midnight. So we were not able to come back to the hotel to check in and we asked if we can check in early and the staff were very understanding and we had our room earlier that 3:00 check in. We were pleased with the location, cleanliness of the room and above all the professional, kind and friendly service we received from the staff. We would definitely book this hotel if in the area. Parking is free which was an added bonus and breakfast. A big thank you.

A good place to stay that’s functional - it’s a room in a pub accessed up some fairly steep stairs but the rooms have been modernised to a good standard and are pleasant for an overnight stay. I would stay there again if I visited the area .

Great budget option, free parking and decent location

Nice staff very helpful great parking good breakfast

Clean , friendly and comfy , needed new shower as temp never changed but that’s minor . Car parking a bonus

This staff in this small hotel went over and above to accomodate me. Every member of staff I met were great. Accomodation was clean tidy, warm and internet signal was good. Well done

The whole atmosphere in and around the place is not good. Smelly all around, stairs not clean and too bushy around the property.

The hotel is very old and stinks...

Room was lovely and clean only thing missing was a mirror - staff friendly and breakfast was nice

The room was very small with a single bed and toilet/shower room, but it was clean and tidy. Water and biscuits topped up every day was nice. Staff were straightforward and helpful. The big downside for me (other than a single bed) was getting an awful sleep every night, as it's right above a pub. They advertise Fri/Sat nights being busy, but I was there Mon-Thurs and the place was heaving every night until about midnight, and you can hear every bit of noise from the bed! Then the apocalypse at midnight, when people going back to their rooms slamming doors. So if you are looking for a night out and somewhere to crash, or one of those guys that works away but spends all their money in the pub, then this would be right up your street. If like me you are working away, asleep early to get up early for a productive day, probably best looking elsewhere. I would recommend staying out the Luton/Dunstable area anyway if possible, traffic is awful and it's a bit of a hole.

Excellent accommodation and very friendly staff. The room was clean but small, the TV being little bigger than the kettle. The breakfast was excellent and plentiful and nothing was too much trouble. The pub is about ten minutes walk from the centre and well worth having a drink in. The locals were friendly and the Guinness was top notch. All in all I would stay again without any hesitation and would recommend others to do so too.

We stayed here on the 5th of August 2023, for what was meant to be 2 nights. The pheasant inn looked very run down and outdated but as we were only needed somewhere to sleep that wasn't important. Our room had a broken radiator, a broken lamp and some of the plug sockets were hanging off the wall. We also had to share a bathroom with 5 other rooms which wasn't stated before we stayed. The bathroom was very dirty. We complained about this and we're given keys for a new room, this room was not available to us until we came back on the night of the 6th. On the 6th we arrived back at the pheasant inn at about 11.30pm. We tried to unlock the door and it had been bolted from the inside and we couldn't get in. We tried banging doors and phoning but we had no answer and had to then get an uber 2 and a half hours home so we didn't have to sleep on a bench outside. I phoned up the following morning to explain what had happened and to organise returning my case and was spoken to disgustingly by the manager. He accused us of being too intoxicated to work a door! Refused to send our case and instead had a go at us for not returning the key. There has been endless back a forth on the phone and we have got no further and they have been rude everytime. On two occasions I have said to them I'll send the key, but can they email me confirmation I will get the case once they have received it. But they refused both times. Almost 2 months later we still have no case or even a sorry.

Nice clean basic accommodation

Rooms are old and definitely need modernising to bring them up to a good standard. Shower room was dated and shower was slow but hot. Bedding was clean and beds ok. Staff were very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was very good.

What a find this place is. It’s basic but very comfortable. The bed especially. Didn’t want to get up. The breakfast was excellent

Room was cold . Tv did work . Kettle and tea/coffee provided. Bed was comfy. Pillows good. Main light was dim. Had an extra desk light but still dim. Although room over a pub it was quiet . Shared bathroom again was freezing . Shower trickles water out either roasting in max mode or freezing if you move it back a bit. Then takes 20 seconds to get boiling again. Price was good as breakfast was included but i was leaving at 6 so didnt have chance to try it.

The breakfast was good. The room was very small with no window, very claustrophobic. Room was only serviced once in the week I was there. Pub customers openly smoking drugs directly outside of the pub. It would be expensive at half the price

Horrible, horrible, horrible! Be aware! Awful experience! Customer service is atrocious! Seriously, bad and terrible! Management is despicable! It’s sad how EXPEDIA allows this on their platform….

A great 'bolt hole' bed & breakfast pub, & it does what it says on the tin. Friendly staff with practical bedrooms & facilities. And their breakfast was the best part of my stay !

The owner went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, which I really appreciated! Thank you!

I was okay with using this one as a last resort until they stopped me checking in and staying during my last booking and kept my money.

Arrived on foot from the nearest bus stop. The pub hanging sign is missing so i entered the premises and confirmed with the cheery lady working the bar that i was in the right place😁 After the paperwork was completed i had to pay a £50 non-smoking deposit which i expect to see refunded onto my card.

I needed a place to stay whilst visiting close friends. This place seemed close by and ideal. And I wasn't disappointed. Lovely helpful staff, the rooms were exactly what I needed for a good night's sleep (no thrills and frills), and breakfast in the morning. Just right...

Convenient for Dunstable centre where I visited Priory Gardens for screening of Last Night of the Proms (not particularly impressive). But they did have an excellent singing duo (Swing Sensation). Pub could do with selling Draught Beer.

Staff were very welcoming. The property could do with updating. Breakfast was mediocre. Everything was basic, but the property was clean

Room was lovely and clean only thing missing was a mirror - staff friendly and breakfast was nice

Had everything I needed and nothing I didnt. The breakfast was ample and they staff generous in offering more! Will stay again.
