Enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Very welcoming and friendly folks. Had a great evening in the bar with the host and met some of the locals too. Had a long and interesting chat discussing with some of them about my local brewery 'Bathams' in the Black Country and the local 'Red Cow' brew. Would highly recommend staying here. 🍺🍺

Disorganised reception and restaurant. Booked and paid in advance, but not expected. Little or no hospitality expertise. Poor food. Multiple trip hazards throughout. Bedroom door binding in frame. Torn curtains. Window would not open. …

After looking at the menu whilst having a coffee one rainy day, we decided to return to eat at the restaurant and were keen to try the fish and chips, which were described as being served with gourmet chips. …

Excellent little pub. I had 37 footballers and family on my bus and phoned a few places to see if I could get them in for some drinks. They were very welcoming and friendly and everyone had a great time will definitely be stopping again in the future

The hotel had had no improvements since my last visit some 5 years ago. The room was poor, mold in bathroom. No bedside lights. Dirty carpets. Breakfast was nothing to write home about, adequate but no more. The evening meals in the bar were good and the staff friendly.|A hotel needs to be clean and hot water is a must|
