Comfortable family friendly
Nice family pub. It can be a bit noisy during pub open hours but my family were very comfortable and had a great nights sleep. The bar below sells nice selection of beers and the play area kept our daughter busy so we could relax.

Basic but comfortable.
Basic but comfortable. The twin beds were fine.
The separate bathroom in the twin room was dated and the shower had a lot of black mould, so I decided to go without.
The television remote control was broken.
Otherwise fine.

Great stay, great pub with great vibes!
Really comfortable room, staff at the bar were lovely although we never needed any Healy and were quite self sufficient. Rooms were newly decorated and the beds were great! Couple of issues, the shower head in the Brunel room was leaky (not to the point of it being a major issue) and we think there could do with being a curtain in the small bathroom window for privacy and to help keep it dark. The cold tap in the Clifton room wasn’t working. Overall the stay was great though.
One word of warning, the bar downstairs is noisy till about 11pm. It didn’t bother us as we really enjoyed using the beer garden ourselves (food at the pub is great too!) but if you are sensitive about noise you need to be aware of it

Perfect to get your head down
Perfect accommodation for our needs. Two refurbed doubles were big and good with en suite.
The twin room was small and bathroom not en suite, should be priced a lot cheaper. No facilities for breakfast in the morning although lidl a 4 min drive

Everyone very friendly and helpful. Hotel is situated near the hospital which was great as we didn’t have to rush to get there in the morning. Would definitely stay again, beer garden very well thought out.

Easy check in process with helpful staff. Room was a good size and relatively well equipped with a good sized bed, 42"TV and an en-suite with a hot shower. The attached pub had a good range of drinks and food.
