In the pub, there is a nice and cosy front bar as well as a larger tap room. The bar with an always good selection of local beer served directly from the barrel is sandwiched in between. The beer is superb. Across the courtyard is the hotel/restaurant. I can't really comment on this because I've only ever gone to the pub. When I was last there, a large group of Napoleonic war re-enactment enthusiasts were holding their AGM in the restaurant. Zut alors!

The reception area is large with nice big sofa's and is clean and tidy. There is a vending machine within the hotel if you get peckish or thirsty. Each room is well equipped with tea and coffee making facilities and TV's. There is ample parking outside and the hotel is next to pub/eatery which offers excellent food at very reasonable prices. This is an excellent priced hotel where kids stay for free, the only downside is the hotel does not offer air-conditioning.

As we were there we decided to have a small bite for lunch and a drink, as we felt it would be rude not to LOL. The whole place was quite quiet for the time of day but service at the bar was friendly, professional and swift. We ordered a couple of jacket potatoes, one with prawn and the other simple cheese. Finding a table we noticed that the majority of clients were of our age and a little younger. They all seemed extremely happy and the service they were receiving was second to none. In fact, two were known by first name terms. Obviously very regular visitors. I must admit, at lunchtime prices it is more financially beneficial to eat here than cook at home. Great food, good pricing, fantastic service by young, friendly, staff. We will make visits on a more regular basis from now on.

When we checked in, the reception bar sitting area was jammed with people. This made for a fun atmosphere. There is also a restaurant area where you can order food. The kitchen is open 24/7 which makes it very convenient for travelers, and a breakfast buffet starts at 4 am which was perfect for us since we had a 6:30 am in flight. The room was comfortable and clean. The only downside was the heat and ac were not working. It felt like a window had been left open. Literally like an icebox. The manager was very helpful. She immediately came up to help, checked us into another room, helped us carry our things to the new room and even told us to call again if there were more problems. I wish this type of service was offered everywhere.

It's also the same distance to the Express train that takes you into London just under an hour. Check in was quick and smooth. For being Diamond Members, we received a coupon for a free drink or snack at the bar next to check in. Our room was 117- an accessible room. It's spacious with a pullout couch. Sadly, the AC wasn't the strongest and the room itself is a little run down. The breakfast buffet is great! There's juice, coffee, waffles, pastries, toast, meats, yogurt, cereal, eggs, beans, mushrooms, and more!

I stayed in room 15, in the annexe out the back, and the taps didn't turn off, the toilet seat was falling off, almost completely disconnected. The shower was rusty, and the TV and kettle had seen better days. Still very convenient so I'll probably be back, but I'll ask for a different room.
