Although a little tired in decoration I think this is acceptable for the price of our stay.
Good value and a good location.
Also the food in the pub was really good.
Really lovely staff and the check in experience was very pleasant. The room was just about acceptable in terms of cleanliness but the toilet was not clean and still had used paper in it. The room and the surroundings were very tired and beyond worn in some places, especially the carpet on the stairs which was very dirty. As there was no breakfast, we could not comment on it. Itâs such a shame because the setting is quite pleasant and it could be a lovely place to visit.
Basic accommodation.
Pros-
Clean
Comfortable bed and pillows
Good TV
Pub onsite
Food available
Towels provided
Friendly staff
Cons-
Feels remote but as long as you have a car or canal boat its ok.
Phone signal is not great. I had 3 and Vodaphone, affected calls and internet connection.
No wifi
Would I stay again?
Yes, for the price paid.
No, if the price point raised without an increase in facilites and decor standards.
Comment to the owners - I'd happily come back to stay a5 the price point I paid, and would love to try the asian food on offer.
Arrived at 3pm to find the place closed with a steel shutter closed on the inside of the main door
Pub had a scruffy exterior which when added to the lack of activity and no signs of life gave the impression it was abandoned.
The fact it is isolated in the middle of nowhere didnt help either. A solo female traveller would have felt v vulnerable
Even the taxi driver wasn't convinced it was a good idea to stay hereamdlnd hung around for 10 mins in case I needed him to drive me somewhere else.
Peering through the windows on the canel side proved that rooms were made up and ready, if I could get into them
After reading the fine print I called the contact number and after no reply at first I received a call back explaining that the pub wasn't open until 5pm on a Monday but accommodation could be reached by going through the 'Private No Access gate' and going through into the accommodation block
Access to room via accommodation block acess looked tired and needed painting and a new carpet.
Room itself was also dated and needed painting and a new carpet. It was small but functional. Bedroom furniture look dated
Bathroom v small and v hot. Shower ok and water hot but sealant around shower tray showing signs of black mold and there was also debris around outside of shower tray.
Room was overly hot when heating was on but cool when it wasn't and there wasnt a way to control the heating. Portable fan /cooler didn't work.Returned from my event around
10 to find pub shut and lockedup
Hotel was nice, and staff friendly. Food in the pub was lovely too. Walls however very thin, guests in next room had their tv on until 5am which meant we didn't sleep very well as we could hear it.
Right next to the canal, pleasantly appointed dated style rooms, amazingly busy when I arrived, warm welcome, arranged everything for me to have a meal that evening, even though that every table was still booked. Food Excellent, good service.
Will definitely return when in the area.
