Relaxing

Liked: Hospitality was great.
Disliked: Nothing.

Would stay again

Liked: Comfy bed and very clean throughout. Food was fantastic and very dog friendly. Would definitely stay again. Very quiet for a pub stay over. The room was small but cosy.
Disliked: Had a room above the toilets where the hand drier went off constantly while pub open. (room 1). Heater switched off at night as the led light was so bright it lit the whole room.

Exceptional

Average and overpriced

Liked: Room was spacious, dogs allowed, pub area looked like it had been recently refreshed/nice decor
Disliked: I paid for a luxury double and not sure that’s what we had. The bathroom was tired, the handle on the bath tap kept falling off and there were dents and marks on the bath. The bed felt small. And the worst was the closeness and loudness of the room to the main corridor door, you could hear every person coming up to their rooms, talking, walking around etc, maybe we had a bad room, but it was really distracting and disappointing. Also food in restaurant was v average.

Superb

Great decor and comfy beds....

Liked: The recent refurb: modern & stylish yet cosy decor. Rear entrance to rooms available direct to car park. Large car park. Bathroom in the standard double I was in was large with both shower and deep set bath. Walk in shower in second room I was in (see below) was large too. Comfy beds. Great full breakfast, including excellently fried eggs. Meal in pub restaurant both eves was delicious. Friendly and attentive staff. Relaxing stay. Would stay again.
Disliked: The original room I was in had a bathroom heater that heated up the room to much. Too hot for me. I couldn’t sleep. Opened windows but then the draft made the room door pull in and out of the door frame. I eventually got 4 hours sleep because I was too awake. However, on mentioning this at breakfast, I was offered a different room and help to move my bags. I was put in the higher room category for no extra charge. Lovely room and 8 hours sleep straight in a beautifully comfy bed. (They had got the engineer out the next day for the first room issue.) The only other thing was that the original Standard double I was in didn’t have a chair at the dressing table. I had imagined doing work but coupled with this and no wifi code (had to log in over an unsecured network) I didn’t open my laptop. (I didn’t get round to telling the staff about the chair though. I’m sure they would have sorted it given how helpful they were with the room change.)

Exceptional

Liked: Food was amazing and reasonably priced. Service was speedy and friendly. Clean room and comfy bed. Easy access.
Disliked: Early morning builders (around 0830), but already awake at this point so not disturbed by it. Did not feel it needed to be mentioned to staff during stay

We had an excellent three...

Liked: Care and attention from staff and management in the restaurant. Excellent choice of food for breakfast and dinner. Room comfortable and tastefully decoration.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike!

We were sorry we had...

Liked: Our stay proved to be extremely good. We had dinner and breakfast and found both to be very good. The staff were all very helpful and we felt we were being looked after. The Carpenters Arms will be at the top of our list if we are looking for accommodation in that area again.
