Nice pub, great staff, Stonegate...

Liked: Great,but because it's a busy pub, outside beer garden noise went on until 00:40,which wasn't great; also,other guests coming back late slamming doors & verbal rows at +03:25 also was unwanted. Staff were friendly, welcoming,& our room clean,but couldn't open windows on very hot muggy night, so very little sleep...
Disliked: as above.

Expensive, loud and disappointing

Liked: We have stayed here before, it’s a big busy pub. Super comfy bed
Disliked: Past stays have been at the front of the property and the road is quiet noisy all night, this time we were at the back over the beer garden, it was loud but was good once the bar closed. There is tea and coffee pods in the room but no instant sachets this year and nothing was replenished for the second day. Looked into staying again next year ( we book this stay as we go to RIAT) but the price is stupidly expensive, £348 bed only this year (2nights) next year £436!!! Sorry but it’s really not worth the money

Good location and good stay

Liked: Good location with free parking. Easy to back to the room after drinking in the Pub.
Disliked: it is difficult to adjust the water temperature of room shower.Be careful that during dinner time, the reception is very busy because the pub is very popular in the town.
