Friendly, helpful staff, lovely and clean. Good value, Cosy, and quiet after 11.15pm, but is a popular local pub, so not best if you are tired and want to settle. It was happy noise. Lads doing nox outside the pub and laughing when jump-scaring us is not a good look. I appreciate that words already may have been had, and may be out their control.

Gentleman who checked us in was very friendly and polite. Since we arrived late, there wasn't space to park so he kindly let us park across his drive. He showed us to our quadruple single bed room, provided the WiFi details, mentioned the yellow stain on the bathroom floor and explained flow toilet. Unfortunately, the bathroom was foul. We couldn't work out if the stench was coming from the toilet or the drains. The toilet lid had excrement on it and the shower cubicle had hair in it so obviously hadn't been cleaned. I ended up buying an antibacterial bathroom cleaner and kitchen paper to clean the whole bathroom myself. Whilst the bed linens and towels were clean, I personally found the single beds the most narrow I've come across and woke up abruptly in the night as I must have turned over in my sleep and felt like I was falling out. Even with the bathroom door closed during the night, I could still smell the stench as I was sleeping in the bed closest to the bathroom. For the price we paid, I really wasn't expecting much but having a clean sanitised bathroom and it to not smell of waste/drains is a basic requirement. Since looking through the reviews online, I've noticed several other guests mention the putrid smell coming from the bathroom and the stain on the bathroom floor (someone mentioned this in a review dated Jan 2023). Upon check-in, we were told the stained floor was going to be 'sorted out soon' but it seems it had been like that for >2 years.

Upon first inspection the room looked clean, but the shower/toilet area was small, the hand basin was just that A HAND basin,you could not wash your face without getting water all over the floor in front of the toilet, there was also a badly stained lino with what looked like urine stains. In the bedroom the pillows should have been dumped ages ago, there were very badly stained, we didn't really check those until the second night and by then was too late to do anything. A main gripe is lack of parking specifically for guests (although when I asked at the bar a gentleman did move his car for me so thank you to him, possibly the landlord) And finally the window needs a big clean especially inside where the hinges are as we removed what looked like black mould. Saying all this if push comes to shove we may stay there again if needed but only as a last resort. Cannot fault the bar staff or the regulars for the friendly atmosphere
What looks like black mould, definitely needed cleaning
Two out of four pillows badly stained, and should not have been used but removed during room clean

We got a phone call 30mins before arriving to say they had double booked and would have to cancel. After explaining this was not possible they found a room. The room was ok but the beds we're so small i fell out twice through the night.

What a delightful, hidden gem! Upon arrival, I met the owner at the pub. He moved his car to give us a parking spot right up front and the gave us a tour of the facilities. The place is obviously a bit dated but you can tell they are still trying to keep it up. Of the people we met staying here, pretty sure we were the only ones who didn’t know everyone. As it is the local pub, expect it to be a bit loud until around 11. I took the owners advice and went downstairs for a pint. Met some lovely people, shared some pints, played the Friday night bingo game, and then up a set of stairs to sleep. Overall, I would stay again. Felt safe and if I needed anything I could ask. Go downstairs and meet the locals. It’s worth it.

Fourth visit. Welcoming staff, spotless bed linen and towels, comfortable bed. However, the en-suite in room 1 appeared grubby. Not actually unclean, but stained and chipped shower tray and sink plug holes didn’t give the positive impression of previous visits. Disappointing.
