Shared bathroom needs to be stated

Hadnt realised it was a shared bathroom or would never have chosen. I cannot belive this is rated as 3 stars, i dont blame the hotel, hotels.com should take the blame. Whole place is in need of a thorough clean.

We arrived slightly early and the staff were more than happy for us to check in. I had messaged to explain that it was a birthday surprise trip for my partner and they had done lovely little extras which was such a lovely and kind gesture. We had food at the pub which was very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. The host (unsure of her name but had red hair) was so helpful and welcoming. Nothing was too much of an ask for them. I was dreading the shared bathroom as I didn’t realise when I booked but we were the only guests so had it to ourselves. The breakfast was fabulous and very tasty. Overall we would 1000% stay here again and we have already told all our family and friends about it. So welcoming and friendly. Very homely and we can’t wait to return next time. Thank you so much for a lovely stay and going the extra mile for us.

Room tired & dated

Not bad value for one night, however, room looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a couple of days, another bedside table would've been useful, didn't realise it was a shared bathroom (not mentioned one website), stairs leading to rooms was filthy (didn't give a good first impression), website says rooms recently refurbished, ours looked like that was done about 10 years ago!!! However, landlord was friendly enough & served up a good breakfast.

We couldn’t locate the property, we thought we’d found it but then were told that digs weren’t allowed, after we had already called ahead and told them about our dog and also had the “pets allowed” search filter on. The first place we tried called “The Village Inn” said that they had ppl turn up all the time thinking that they are staying there, only to find that it’s not the correct venue or a hotel.

Staying at this property was an absolute delight. Ema, the host, was exceptional. She was always ready to help and ensured we had no issues during our stay. We felt truly cared for. If we visit again, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here. Highly recommend!

TBH what I like most - and what is becoming increasingly hard to find - is reasonable accommodation for a few nights at a reasonable price, rather than so-called luxury accommodation costing the earth with facilities I don't want and won't have time to use.

Lovely place shame about a little mishap.

Check in was great. Showed to my room. Which was exactly what I expected. I went down for an evening meal and beverage. I have to say the food was great and very reasonably priced. Again service was great. The issue I had was after the pub closed. I sat on the bottom of the bed a few minutes later it broke and I fell the rough it. I weigh 12 stone 8 lbs. There was nothing I could do so had to sleep on the floor. Apart from that it’s a lovely place.
