It is a great stopover. Rooms are above the pub. Not a problem. It is on a busy road so you do get traffic noise. Didn’t get to catch breakfast as we left early.
Nice staff.

Friendly staff
Great cheap hotel near the city centre. Needs a little TLC in rooms.
Friendly staff and lovely bar downstairs.
We enjoyed our stay here. Historic old pub within easy walking distance of the city centre. Spacious room and bathroom. Comfy bed. Clean and tidy. Friendly staff. Great value for money. Would definitely stay again when in the area.

Staff were friendly, breakfasts excellent. Good atmosphere in the bar. Room needed a good dusting round the ceiling as cobwebs were hanging down.

Easy15 mins, to walk into town centre.
Situated on a Very busy road, so traffic noise at night, which we were aware of when booking.
Old building. In need of complete refurbish in bedrooms, Bathroom/toilet door did not close. Sour smell in bathroom, which filtered into bedroom. Very welcoming on arrival, all staff very helpful. Busy bar in an evening. Food available if required.

A small hotel that doubles as a bar and restaurant with pool tables and darts.
The room is relatively small, we spent around 120 pounds to book a room about 13 square meters, so the value for money is average. But the staff are very friendly.
Breakfast is optional, 12.5 pounds per person, and the freshly made English breakfast is fantastic.
Overall, I would give it 4.2 Stars!
Very reasonable rates. Quiet, even though there is a large pub on the ground floor, the noise was not really noticeable. I would definitely stay again.
You can’t beat the location of this cute little pub on the outskirts of the city centre. On-site parking was a huge plus. The breakfasts and dinners at the pub were reasonable and very tasty. Atmosphere of the pub was great. The beds probably need replacing as the springs were gone and they creak badly every time you turn slightly. The music from the pub or road noise might be a bit annoying if you don’t like staying up late, but it wasn’t too bad. Overall a lovely stay that was very convenient to the town centre without being right in the hustle and bustle.
The staff were lovely! I was out all day for the snooker so I left my bag with Molly who also allowed me an early key.
Breakfast was just the ticket in the morning and my off menu order wasn't a problem!
A great stay and a good find! 😊
