The Dog in A Doublet

We stayed here for one night in August whilst visiting some friends who live nearby. We checked in around 4pm with no issues, we were in room 1 above the pub. On first appearance the room seemed quirky but nice, the bed was large and quite comfy. The tiles on the bathroom floor were damaged and covered with a bath mat but we weren't too bothered by this. We got settled in and had a look on the balcony, then we realised that there was no key to our balcony and we were unable to lock the door. I went downstairs to the bar and they said they would look for the key for us. Around 40 minutes later, we wanted to go out and be back with our friends for a few hours so we went downstairs again to ask about the balcony key. We did feel a little silly and like we were inconveniencing the staff, however as two young women in an unfamiliar area, we did not feel comfortable staying in a room with an external door that did not lock (or even close properly). They still could not locate the key, but agreed to move us to room 2. Room 2 was bigger and I think it was probably supposed to be more expensive, it was nicely decorated and the bathroom was bigger too. The floor was quite slanted which was a little strange but didn't impact on our stay. This room had a balcony too, however this one was fully locking and we had a key to it. We slept reasonably well, the bed was average and we had no complaints. As we were sleeping above the pub we were concerned about noise but it wasn't bad at all and we had no issues sleeping. Checkout was easy but we did have to loiter around the bar for quite a while before someone came to see us. We didn't try any food or entertainment in the pub so we are unable to comment on this. We would stay here again for the odd night whilst visiting friends, as long as we had a guarantee of having a locking balcony door!

Came for Elvis night. Looked amazing. Had to queue to get in and be shown to our table as there was only 1 waitress and 1 bar staff. Table was sticky and the "shabby chic" effect tables look more like just plain tatty, they are worn a d tired now.. please put some covers on! Chairs rickety and stained. The bar has poor selection of larger, all of which was flat as heck. Coke and Lemonade are poured from supermarket bottles so this was flat as heck too. We thought we were coming for a meal and a show, but to be served HALF a burger, a rib and a couple of pitiful chicken wings with some skinny fries was bad enough, but it was all COLD and we waited 1.5hrs from being seated to being served. Food sent out on chipped plates, forks on table not clean... its a mess... clearly they have no idea on how to run a restaurant or a bar or they have just lost the will.... We saw one man complaining to the chef and sent all their meals and beers back. Elvis was really pretty good. Definately see him again but not here. The place is brilliant in decor but they really need to spruce it up, clean it and learn how to send out hot food and decent beer.

The room was for three people, one double bed and one camp bed. The room was a good size and good price, however it was very dirty. The bathroom had a few black hairs in the shower and on the toilet, there was what looked like a blood smear on the back of the door. After seeing this I then pulled back the cover to get into bed and there was three dark hairs inside the bed under the cover (we're all blonde so knew 100% it was not ours), I was very disgusted and put off by this. The carpet was dirty and the whole place was grubby and could do with a massive clean and scrub. Would not recommend this place, please save your money and go somewhere else it was one of the worst rooms I've ever stayed in. General cleanliness should surely be the standard I've stayed in hostels in Europe that were so much cleaner than this!

What an amazing family celebration. The food was outstanding! The rooms were spotless and the staff couldn't do more to help us, leaving a faultless enjoyable night! Service with a smile also goes a long way, and all the staff were smiling. We can't wait to return!

Thank you for a wonderful stay and yummy food. Superb hospitality, warm and welcoming, our dog Enzo enjoyed it too! The walks in the area are brilliant. And the homemade crisps were delicious. As was the hot tub! Will definitely return. Really enjoyed it. Ellen and Adam.

We stayed here while visiting family nearby. We booked a family room as that was all that was available. In the day we were due to arrive John called us and asked if we would like to stay in the horsebox as it was just us and the hound. We'll, what a treat, lovely little lounge and a comfy bedroom, with a pretty terrace and a hot tub! We did not use the tub as it was raining. We ate with family in the evening and the food was amazing. John was o hand cooking and he was in and out of the kitchen personally checking everything was okay for the guests, could not have felt more welcome or at home. Fabulous stay, would recommend the horsebox, we will definitely be making a return visit 😊
