Beautiful very old building. Comfortable room.

My room had a roof window. Lot of cozy seating options outside. While the lodge is next to a road, it does not get very loud. The food was very good too. Good place to relax and see some birds.

A family of four stayed for 3 nights in a 2 bed apartment directly above the pub. + Superb quality of decor, fixtures and fittings, very comfortable and practical space to stay in + A very 'cosy' pub with beautiful decor and the log burners going which was nice + Extremely approachable, attentive and sharp staff + Very high quality food and beers + One of the few places we've stayed that we'd definitely stay at again! + Beautiful, quiet village locale with a lovely walk up to the 'three hills'

I was disappointed. It felt like an episode of Hotel Hell. I was exhausted from travel all day and let the hotel know I will be coming around 6pm. Normal check in is at 3pm but when I arrived my room was still not ready. So I then had to wait for the lady to clean my room and when I did go up to my room the lady didn't even offer to help with my luggage and it was in some backwards way through hidden hallways that was extremely confusing and stupid. My room was not clean. I found pubic hairs all over the shower and calcium build up in there too. The bed had these gross worn out sham pillows and the floor was gritty. I was not happy. I slept with my shirt put over the pillow as my own pillowcase cause I wasn't sure if my sheets were changed. The little girl in the bar had a bad attitude and was not accommodating at all. Also, I wanted to order food up to my room but I would need to come and grab it myself even though you are in the service industry and provide ZERO service to your guests. The burger was crap and old and tasted frozen, the fries were decent but they are not skinny fries so don' advertise that. Then my appetizer of gnocci consisted of 5 pieces of old hard pasta's that were just soaked in the most disgusting oil and had no flavor and were just slapped together. Absolutely terrible and I was still starving so I had to buy nuts and chips from the front just so I don't go to bed hungry from their crap food. Wine was also old and started to turn as well. The only redemption was the cool bartender the next morning who was helpful and kind to me. Blonde fellow who studied history in school. Other than that - absolute crap and I actually do come to that area often for work but will purposely not be staying in that hotel anymore due to the poor management, lack of care, cleanliness, and overall value for the money spent there. Fix it cause your locals deserve better.
