6/10

Hotel reception is in the pub, which is a little awkward on a Friday night with bags. We booked a superior room but was put in a very small superior room with a small box window which made it dark. The en-suite bathroom had a skylight window that was covered in bird poo and overlooked our privacy. We left out to eat elsewhere as we had missed the 9pm deadline in the pub for food. Arriving back to the room later that night, it had a sewage smell. The superior bed is 2 beds bolted together with separate mattresses so we kept rolling into the middle which felt like a hole. An uncomfortable night was had. Breakfast was lovely and everything was cooked well and tasted nice. We asked the young man at reception to change our room, he was very polite about it and sorted it out quickly. We changed rooms to another superior room which was over twice the size of the last superior we slept in. This room had large doors letting in a lot of light, it was airy, which is what we initially expected (as in photos displayed) on arrival. The beds were still uncomfortable with a gap and the pillows were very flat but it was ok. We were allowed to check out an hour later at 12pm as we requested. The cleanliness of the rooms differed from one to another. Our overall stay wasn’t anything to shout about, just ok. Most of the staff were polite and friendly, especially the manager on reception.
