Woolpack Inn by Greene King Inns

The host cpuld not have been more delightful and accommodating- Melanie was charming and quite personable. The rooms were so unique and comfortable. The experience was more a bed and breakfast than a hotel.

Building is tired and a bit grubby. Bathroom had thick dust in places. Staff were very helpful.

After a 6 hour drive we arrived at 13:50 we are way too early, took a seat outside the pub and realised it was a 2 O’clock check in. Very frosty reception when we went back in and pointed this out. Given room 1 it was disgusting. Toilet not working not wardrobe/ draws. Cupboard in the wall for hanging a few items but was being used for storage. We refused this room and was told they didn’t have another. They clearly didn’t know how to handle this situation. We then went outside and started to look for another hotel when they miraculously aproched saying they have another room. It wasn’t much better but at least the toilet worked. We decided to put up with it. The carpets up to the rooms were filthy. Definitely more of a workman’s stop over. The car park was constantly full and we found out later that it was used by the locals. Never got to park in it once. The extractor fan from the kitchen was filthy and blowing out onto the car park, dripping fat and oil onto the floor !!!. The garden area was quite nice although the scaffolding was a little off putting. I think green king need to visit this place as it is not as nice as the pictures suggest.

The employees at the Woolpack Inn were superb. They showed concern for the well-being of their guests. I highly recommend them.

The hotel is located inside the pub. I was one of the attic rooms and didn’t hear any noise from the pub. The Sunday roast is well worth it. I had the roast beef and it was delicious. My room was a twin bedroom. It was fine but there was no floor length mirror. The mirror on the dressing table you could manoeuvre but you couldn’t see your full outfit. The mattresses need to be changed. Although I slept really well, the mattress was very lumpy with a firm impression on one side. The bathroom does need some updating. The shower, although was very good, you couldn’t see how to turn it off. I spent ages trying to turn it off as the instructions were not visible enough to see. The bath needs reselling and the flooring replaced. The breakfast is good value and the service is excellent. Everyone I met in the pub was friendly and hospitable.

Do not stay in Room 7... the bathroom is mouldy and rusty, and hot in the summer with one small window. The shower bursts scolding hot water every 10 seconds whilst showering. Worst hotel room I've ever stayed in.
