Lovey little pub!

Really cute pub rooms decorated lovely! Didn’t realise it was shared toilets and showrooms when we booked but both toilets were clean and didn’t see the other guests! And nice outside courtyard to sit in

4/10 Fair

They had no knowledge of our booking when we arrived. To be fair, they sorted us out quite quickly but it would actually have been a blessing if they didn't have a room and we were forced to book elsewhere. The room is extremely dated and had a terrible smell. The windows are single-glazed so all sound from the street feels like it's in your room. Booker beware - this property has shared bathrooms. It is stated on the room details but not as clearly as it should be. I've no idea how old the mattress is but you can feel every spring. Would not recommend as a place for a good night's sleep.

8/10 Very good

Unique Boho decor and friendly people but very noisy room by main street with noisy pelican crossing going off randomly from the early hours and very noisy fridge in the room. Very clean and comfortable bed.

Pre-marathon stay

Stayed here as I was participating in the 2025 marathon. The room was lovely and the service received was very good. The road was a bit busy outside all through the night but that cannot be helped. Would definitely stay again.

A lovely quirky place to stay above a nice pub. Shared facilities but clean and of good quality. Lovely bedroom, incredibly comfy bed. Although breakfast wasn't part of it, the host left cereal, croissants and milk and yoghurt in the fridge. There was facilities to make coffee and tea too. Would happily stay again.

ABBA

We went to see ABBA so hotel was good location, unfortunately the location its self was awful. Room need a good clean, but food was very good.
Terence, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was uniquely decorated and service was friendly. Shared bathrooms were clean, the carpets were more doubtful. Mattress could use an upgrade. WiFi did not work during the length of our stay. Entrance a bit depressing.
