Excellent.
Very convenient location; had a very comfortable night's sleep. Would use this venue again.
Colin, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not recommended
I had an ok stay but there’s a lot wrong with this place. The windows don’t close properly in the room so it’s cold and noisy (next to the main road). There was no hot water in my room. The radiator didn’t work in my room. There was an adjoining door in my room that leads into another room just a wardrobe placed in front of the door… I could hear both sides of a phone conversation from the neighbouring room. The pub is decent. I think for the price….. stay somewhere else.

I will stay again.
Good stay, comfortable, reasonably quiet for city centre pub. Plan to stay again.

Loved it … will be staying again
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were welcoming and friendly. The room was modern, impeccably maintained, and spotlessly clean, which exceeded my expectations. A delightful surprise was the espresso machine in the room—such a thoughtful touch! I enjoyed my short stay and would happily return in the future.

One Night Stay.
Perfectly adequate for a one night stay. But, unless one knows the area, getting to it via Sat Nav is challenging, and the local parking is a nightmare!:.

Decent accommodation in a good pub
One night stop for work near by. Car park was a disappointment as couldn't park the Van due to height restriction. quite noisy as windows are old, but the food and the pub are good, beds comfy and a reasonable price
Stephen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice clean room, mine was a single and perfectly enough room for me. The pub and food were good, 10 min walk into the City is great. Would have been nice if the coffee/milk had been serviced for the 2nd night. Would I stay there again? …. definitely yes, if the price is right.
