A Good Reasonably Priced Hotel/pub

The Pine Marten is very reasonably priced compared to other hotels in the area. The hotel building is separate from the pub so no noise. The bedroom was clean with all facilities. The bed was (unlike in some hotels) very comfortable. Had continental breakfast each day at £6 odd. It was adequate but no yoghurt mixed with berries like at Premier Inn and Holiday Inn Express. Also the music being played was dire . Funeral music

Satisfactory

This is fairly basic Pub accomodation. Small minimally furnished room. Only one chair. 'Pub grub' fine if you are in to swill down a few pints. On the positive, the staff were polite and attentive. We were there for two nights to attend a wedding nearby so it did the job. Not somewhere I would choose to stay for a holiday.

We had a one night stay here. The location was easy to get to, just off the A1, and there was plenty of parking. To check in you have to go into the Marstons pub where there is a small reception desk. We checked in and then you go to the seperate accommodation block. There is a large Asda and a very nice garden centre just across from the site. We ate in the pub restaurant which was nice food at a reasonable price. The room was big enough for us and was comfortable. We slept well. Breakfast was back at the pub restaurant. You had to order your cooked choice but the cereal, toast etc was self service. The accommodation is reasonably priced and I would stay here again, mostly due to the convenient location.

The room was clean, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the location is ideal for people en route to somewhare else (shopping, fuel etc). The one drawback is that when the weather is bad (and it wasn't during my stay) you have to walk in the open between the restaurant and the accommodation.
