Overall, for lone traveller; an unsafe experience
Hotel was clean. This hotel would benefit from having a lone traveller policy. I lone travel for work, stayed at the hotel on one other occasion, but will not be back due to lack of basic safety knowledge from staff. On check in two men checked in before me and remained in reception. My key was given room number side up, reception then said room number aloud. Bedrooms are opposite the pub, across the car park. My room was on ground floor between both men room, in a corner. Lighting in corridor did not work, making entering the room a vulnerable experience. Door to room did not have peep hole nor inside lock or chain. When paying for my meal barmaid asked for my room number. I explained I did not have a tab open. She said she had to have the room number. Bar was full of men, I had to state I was not giving out my room number in a bar full of men I did not know. That silenced the whole area. Wrote my room number on a pad. No explanation as to why a room number was needed in a pub that caters for people who are not staying overnight. Overall, for a lone woman traveller, an unsafe experience

Overall was great, only downside was my room was on top of the restaurant which caused some noise, also the pillows in the room wasn’t great but everything else was fantastic.

Need to book restaurant in advance
Stayed one night on business On check in was confronted with my pet hate ie being told restaurant is busy and there was a 2.5 hour wait for a table. It’s great it’s busy and clearly attracting local trade, however, they need to contact customers on booking a room to advise to book a table in advance. Bar tables were also being reserved for food, hence limited space to sit and have a drink. Was shown to a small lounge which doubled as reception so quite a lot of through traffic Food when it arrived was good quality bar food and excellent value for money/ I stayed in a standard room and it was clean and functional.
