    My only suggestion would be to put some coat hooks somewhere in the room, as there is nowhere to hang your outside coats.

    The room has been refurbished and was lovely and clean. A good touch to have a bottle of water for each guest. Breakfast is good and freshly cooked to order. Food in the restaurant for dinner is always delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful.

    The only gripe from my stay which probably cant be helped was that even though I had had a lot to drink and usually sleep like a log! our room was right above the road and is quite busy with lorries during the night. It literally sounded like they were driving right past your head and we struggled to get decent sleep.

    We booked last minute for a nearby wedding. We would be coming in late and were told how to get in and that we could help ourselves to milk from the fridges downstairs etc. It was a nice welcome :)

    The second time i stayed this year. First time items added to my bar tab. Resent stay did not open a tab paid with a credit card. But on check out again some one put drinks on my room. Your system has no date or time of what was purchased. So I could not investigate.

    Our only complaint was our room felt very warm, even with the windows open. A fan would be nice.

    Clean and attractively decorated interior. Great pub! One of our favorite accommodations during our 2 week tour of England and Scotland. Friendly staff and patrons!

    The venue was beautiful with quirky hallways and really cute rooms with everything you need. The staff were incredible, so kind, helpful, warm and welcoming and truly engaged with our conversation about our plans. also it’s super dog friendly, we didn’t bring our dog but we need to come back with him! Thankyou for making our stay so lovely and memorable.

    Very dog friendly, food was excellent. The room had everything needed & the fact they included dog beds, bowls & treats was amazing. I loved the dog friendly seating which made us feel very relaxed knowing we were sat around other dog owners.

    Really lovely stay and perfect for what we were looking for.

    The room was quite warm whenever we’d enter it, meaning we’d need to open the windows (which were quite small) and shutters to get air circulating the room. It felt like it often took a while for the room to cool down to a comfortable temperature. The price of the food / drink and overall stay seem quite high (similar to London prices).

    We booked the hotel for the weekend as we were we going to a wedding at a nearby venue. The location of the hotel was perfect - 5 minute walk from the wedding venue. The hotel felt very cosy and welcoming and had lots of charm about it. Our room has recently been refurbished so was very nice and comfortable to stay in. It was also nice and quiet - we were in room 4 at the back of the hotel, so didn’t hear any of the traffic noise outside. The food at breakfast was very very good, with a nice range of choice. The staff were also always very friendly and were happy to help with anything we asked for.

    No view from the window which didn't really matter and the price is quire expensive.

    Only a very small couple of niggles but nothing to actually complain about. Whilst there was a coffee machine in the room, there was no actual kettle to make a cup of tea with all the other nice tea and coffee making facilities provided. I made a cup of tea using the hot water from the coffee machine, but as most will know the water is never really that hot, plus there was bits of coffee sediment in the water i was using to make the tea! The shower is not very powerful, i wouldnt advise someone with a lot of hair to try and wash their hair in the shower.

    This is a cosy country pub / hotel. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. We loved the warm atmosphere and the variety of real ales. Our evening meal was very nice and the breakfast was delicious. Again, lovely staff throughout each dining experience who are very happy to help. Can't fault anything. We have visited a few times now and its nice to see that there have been some upgratdes to the decoration etc. All very nicely done. Loved The White Company full size toiletries provided in the room. Even though the hotel is dog friendly, i wouldn't have known there had been any dogs in the room.

    Everything wow. The decor, the staff, the room was beautiful, lovely little espresso machine in there too, very comfy bed, the food was fantastic, breakfast was exceptional. We usually stay at the Royal Oak down the road and we’ll never stay there again, so if you’re in between which one to choose, pay the little bit extra because it was well worth it. We stayed in Leeds at the Hilton for a few days prior, and this hotel made the Hilton look like a travelodge.

    The bathroom in our room was very small.

    Our room did need the refurbishment which is planned, but the beds were comfortable and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Evening meal was better on Monday night than on Sunday, when a number of the menu items were unavailable. The bar was lively and welcoming all day. This was particularly appreciated during the bad weather.
