Parking was easy with accessibility being very good. Staff were very welcoming. The room was adequately resourced, clean and comfortable. Slight noise from the room above could be heard early in the morning, otherwise was a quiet location. We ate in the restaurant which was very nice indeed.

The pub, the food and the drink are very good indeed, but the accommodation side of things is not quite to the same standard. It's ok for a quick overnight there, but... the TV didn't work, the bathroom light flickered, the bathroom heater was broken, the walls are paper thin so you hear everything from next door and there's general wear and tear. The info folder had leaflets in from 2015 and 2017 so no recent attention there and the online photos are a little rosier than the reality. There's a tourist board sign on the wall saying 3 Star - mmmm, maybe at one time in history, but suspect the sign might be there yet the accreditation no longer! Other online reviews capture other points. It's basically an old fashioned Travelodge set-up, but with just a little more investment, effort, know-how and attention to detail it has the potential to reach the standard of the pub side, which it felt like is where the owners main interest and effort goes and the rooms are more like a case "well seeing as they were there when we got the place, suppose we might as well still do it" kind of thing.

Comfortable & welcoming
The Old Peculiar offers excellent, comfortable room-only facilities, breakfast not being available.
This suited our purpose for a family visit, & the atmosphere & evening meals are worthy of note.

A slightly confusing booking process. The rooms are not a part of the pub but are slightly behind/to the left. Staff when checking in seem to assume you know where you are going. This would be the case if the car park was clearer and directed you to the entrance rather than the one you see from the road. The pub is great and food excellent. Room was clean, large and very comfortable. Shower took some getting to used to but once you're sorted it works well. Will stay again

Excellent Find!
This was a great find at a reasonable price. Stayed in the family/suite room. The room had everything you could want including a detailed book of information for the hotel and local attractions. Food was also good and reasonable. Hotel does not currently offer breakfast. Overall, Fantastic! Would stay again :)

Not at all Peculiar!
Unfortunately I had eaten enroute so did not dine in the nicely furnished olde style pub which took orders until 20.30 but, despite my 20.20 arrival I was given opportunity to eat. The bed was very comfortable. An armchairxwas provided in addition to a chair.
