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.
Reception were very welcoming and check in was quick. Full details of breakfast options available provided but we were leaving earlier than breakfast commenced so didnt use.
Bedroom was spacious for the 3 of us, 2 adults and a teenager. Room/bathroom was dated and could have done with a freshen up, but not too much of an issue as we only slept and showered at property.
Food available in bar or restaurant but not that cheap - £55 - 85 for 3 with a drink. Typical mass produced pub food. Chicken and ham pie was good, and bacon cheese burger. Lasagne wasn't great in size and taste. Most places Lasagne is like lava in terms of heat but this was only warm.
Large pub and restaurant with a good number of rooms. On site parking (which guests don't pay for, register your car at hotel reception). Room was comfortable, but hot (a fan was provided). Breakfast was good, though the staff were under pressure because most guests seemed to arrive around 8.15am on Saturday and expected to be immediately seated. I'd suggest checking with Reception on breakfast patterns if you are in a hurry. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Good free parking when registered as a guest. Nice breakfast with a la carte and buffet included. Reception staff very helpful with booking tas. Room a little small compared to some other hotels we have stayed in and dates but McLean and comfortable. Two flights of stairs were a surprise but we did not specify a lower floor
