Lovely friendly welcome, nicely decorated room and comfy bed. Bath and shower both fantastic with lashings of hot water. Ensuite was generously proportioned, light and airy. The restaurant serves delicious French food, plus the usual bangers 'n' burgers. We had the chicken tikka masala curry and boeuf borguignon main courses - beef was lovely and tender, red wine sauce was amazing. Fantastic location, right in the village centre, a short walk from coffee shops, supermarket (surprisingly well stocked) cafes and delightful village green. There's free parking round the back of the hotel but there were spaces in the road outside every day we were there. No parking restrictions. It's a family-run hotel, and they are all very welcoming, I would say outgoing characters. This is not part of a chain.

Furniture in the bedroom was a bit tired; wobbly wardrobe and suitcase stand that would put a Strictly competitor to shame with its moves! The rooms are above the restaurant and bar. The bar was extremely lively on the 3 nights I was there, with a bunch of well tanked-up blokes shouting in that special male "weyyy - o - way - o - wayyyy!!" voice that's only used at football matches and when drunk. Lovely lads I'm sure, but it went on until about 1am on all 3 nights, and sound insulation in the rooms is non-existent. Pack your earplugs! Rooms 5 to 8 are over the restaurant, with 7 and 8 being furthest from the bar noise. Rooms 1 - 4 are directly over the bar so even noisier.

The service you are offered in this establishment can only be described as excellence in my opinion. I came upon this place after a month long stay in hospital due to a back injury I sustained almost 20 years ago. The staff here each in their own way have aided in my recovery and I cannot thank each of them enough for their support, trust and kindness. I have not needed a single pain killer for my lower back since. I am not going to comment about the cleanliness, the beds, the rooms, the location etc. Come and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

Nothing to dislike. If you do not like music, laughter and a few alcoholic beverages on an evening then this place is likely not for you.

Friendly staff , reasonable size room. A dog bed was supplied ,which a first......meant we had less to take in with us,also easy to walk straight from the door early mornings. Parked easily just outside . Good location for tripping around The restuarant accomodated even though we hadn't booked and it was well worth eating there. Good freshly cooked local foods.

Slightly disappointing breakfast not served but we knew that, so took our own and we are up earlier than some people as we have a dog . We wondered if if could be noisy when with a busy pub, but when we stayed it was ok

Was a really nice stay. Room was excellent and perfect for a lone traveller. I sent a message earlier in the day and this was noted when I arrived which is good and always gives you confidence for future stays as they are attentive to changing circumstances. great location in town.

The only reason I did not put full marks for value for money was the fact that no breakfast was supplied. I didn't realise this at the time of booking (my fault I know) but for the money, at least a croissant or two with juice could have been supplied to the room.

Perfect location for walking and sight seeing. Price was cheap enough for our liking. Staff pleasant enought.

Downside of staying in a pub is the noise on an evening which kept us awake one night. Requested delux bed which I assumed would be longer but turned out to be two singles put together so wider. Over mattress was in need of renewal as worn in centre meaning I slept in a deep. Room on the whole was clean and housekeeper very good, my concern was pee stain downside of toilet on wall. Extractor fan in bathroom didn't work due to buildup of dust and muck.

Excellent place to stay on route to Scotland & not far off the A66, nice pub, great food in the restaurant & quiet village... well once the pub had shut & singers went home just after midnight, but we weren't bothered as we was on a chilling last minute getaway

Nothing really.. the noise from a group of excited wedding girls laughing & reminiscing was right below my room, but hey, it didn't go on all night, they had a wedding to attend so no drama

Bar staff, Karen etc.friendly and informative. Room was small but had everything in fact more than others in terms of coffee sachets,toiletries.

Drop your bags at the front of the hotel unless you come equipped with your own Nepalese Sherpa to navigate the very steep and dodgy stairs from the rear car park. Shame the restaurant was closed and we had to eat at the soulless place across the road.

The location was great. We enjoyed eating in the restaurant on two of the evenings. They don’t do breakfast but there are 3 cafes nearby. They opened at 9 which was too late for us so we took porridge pots to the room. That suited us as we were walking and wanted to be away early in the mornings. Plentiful tea, coffee and hot chocolate supplied.

For us everything was good.

Great location, super close to Bowlees Visitor Centre which was our next stop. Ample parking for our two cars in front and behind. Our room had a large loft bathroom. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Room luxurious, but it was nice and cosy. Pub was pretty quiet, no noise issues at all.

Not really an issue with the room at all, but dinner options around are limited and close quite early. Hotel opposite looked nice but was fully booked, so definitely book ahead as there aren't many shops or other food options.

The welcome we received was professional and efficient. Our room was large with an exceptional bathroom. We dined in the wonderful french restaurant where we enjoyed a lovely authentic French meal. We were only booked in for one night but decided to stay longer.

Although the bathroom was a good size, the skylight was a bit of a pain allowing daylight in from sunrise!
