Lovely modernised pub stay

The property and room are gorgeous! They also provided a dog bed, bowls and a lovely gift for my pup! It is a perfect English town high street pub hotel-but much better appointed than other pub stays. I would suggest staying there in cooler months as it was a bit too warm.

Gorgeous hotel and the room (really fancy room) was very stylish. Bath is very slim and there were finger mark in the bath salts. Lovely clean bed linen and towels and a very comfy mattress. However there is no room service, service in the bar was painfully slow and breakfast service was slow. It took fifteen minutes to be noticed after I had been seated although to be fair the lovely waitress did apologise and treated me like a queen thereafter. The breakfast it self was very average - bacon was tasty but the rind was raw and it was cold; the poached eggs were almost hard boiled, and the fruit salad contained black banana and brown apple and was pretty tasteless. My top peeve though was paying £200 for a luxury night’s getaway and there was no air conditioning in the room. It was 30 degrees on check in and check out and the heat in the room was insufferable. I pay £60 to stay in a premier inn with air conditioning and a better breakfast…. That said the hotel and pub is lovely and my room was spotlessly clean and very nicely appointed. I just wouldn’t stay there in the summer…

The room was fantastic, but a shame that there was no parking available considering the price - on one night we saw a man sleeping in his van in the car park. It would be good to have a system that prioritizes hotel guests for spaces over pub patrons like these.

Such beautiful design of the room making it warm and cosy. Thoughtful touches made it so welcoming. Loved the radio playing when I arrived, the little note and some treats. Warm lighting. Cosy bedding and earplugs. Fresh milk instead of UHT. Absolutely loved this room. The guy on reception was lovely. Couldn't fault it. Highly recommend.
