Excellent

Comfortable stay. The only problem was the shower leaking all over the bathroom floor. It was on a solid bar and not adjustable. Tried everything with the shower curtain to keep the floor protected. I think because the show rail is straight and doesn’t curve round the end of the bath, this causes the problem.
Bathroom was nothing short of a disgrace.
The last person's Toothpaste all over the taps and generally unclean. The shower also floods, and the flush barley works. Looked like something from the 70's.
Silicon about 2" wide
The rooms do require refurbishing and although clean they look a little tired. The hotel caters for visitors with pets. We were extremely disappointed that our room was in a section of the hotel where dogs barking kept us awake for most of the night. We reported this to reception staff when checking out and received a half hearted apology
Bar staff were incredibly rude. A number of us staying in the hotel wanted to sit and play cards in the evening and were refused service, told we had 10 minutes before we had to to 'get out' and were shouted at by a very hostile lady to go to our rooms. Extremely unfriendly and condescending.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Ok, but not exceptional. Reasonable value
Typical old town centre pub, repurposed into hotel/eating place.
Standard Greene King food offering, ok but not exceptional.
Room condition was good and comfortable, only negative was an all pervading aroma in the room and in the Stables accommodation area - like a strong aftershave!
Overall, reasonable value.
Receptionist was great. Really helpful and attentive. Parking is a real bonus and transport links are good as the train station is a short walk away.
Unfortunately on the second night and the second morning for breakfast our experience was not as good. We returned to the hotel to have a night cap and we found the young lady on the bar quite rude. We understood that last orders are called at 22.55 and that you have to sit in reception from 23.15. Bring rushed to shut the till off is not great from a customer service point of view.
Breakfast on the Sunday morning was a bit of a miss than a hit. The sausages were cold in the middle and the tomato missed the grill. Not a fan of mushrooms frozen or tinned and not pan fried as described.
These slight blemishes on our stay would not put us off going back though and our room was all fine.
