It is what it is!! It was the cheapest accommodation in the area, and that's what I wanted. The guy that checked me in was very polite and called me 'Sir', he was definitely wanting to act professionally. The rooms were basic but had a TV,and it was a shared toilet/shower room. The noise from the Pub didn't keep me awake, the people that say it does obviously go to sleep too early. (Anyone who leaves a very bad review has extremely high standards for a budget price)

The staff at the hotel were really friendly and went out of their way to welcome me. The room was good value but basic as expected. The only concern was the noise from the downstairs pub area which was loud until the pub closed.

Last resort saloon
Not the best place for be stayed. Very loud music in bar downstairs till late meant there was no chance of trying to catch up on sleep. Rooms very basic, and could do with sone tlc.

Misnamed venue, pub not a hotel.
This is listed as a Hotel, however, it is a pub with rooms above it. There is no food offered, and the bathrooms are all shared. The towels provided are small, the windows are single glazed, so allow all the noise from the High Street into your room. The pub is open till 1am Fri and Sat, with very loud music playing till midnight. I spoke to the staff about the noise, he was rude, and refused to list to me. Stating it was advertised as a Hotel and Pub, this is not on the listing. I have concerns over Dara Protection as they insist on taking a paper copy of your details, as well as the electronic copy. These pages are kept in a blue plastic wallet, apparently locked in the safe overnight, and retained for 3 months. Despite this venue being close to my new work, I will not be returning. I had booked for 2 nights, I left after one.

The room was sizeable and clean as were the shared bathrooms. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. As I was travelling by public transport there are several options in the area. The only thing was maybe instructions should be left to navigate the TV system. Overall, for the price, good value for money

The room desperately needs a curtain for privacy. Its on the same level as the beer garden and although the glass is distorted you can still see people getting dressed. Apart from that, clean and roomy.

Not for us.
We didn’t actually stay: the room we were offered opened directly on to the beer garden, on one of the hottest days of the year, when the pub had a late license until 1am. No parking, and little guidance for what local options were didn’t help. I should have checked reviews more carefully - this was the wrong choice for us. Room was spacious, clean, and well equipped.

Very disappointing
Only one member of staff was on duty although she did her best , the issue lies elsewhere. Only 2 parking spaces for the whole hotel/bar. Totally inadequate. Hotel.com have a high rating for this which is very difficult to understand.

Lovely stay, wonderful people :)
Beautiful room with plenty of amenities, tea/coffee/biscuits, mini fridge (which was not expected), TV and in room wash basin. Could have done with a fan to combat the hot weather. Only down side was being able to hear the music from the bar area downstairs, according to the website would finish before midnight but continued until 1.30am. The owners / staff on duty were very helpful and friendly with great personalities. Highly recommend for atmosphere and pub environment.
