8/10 Good
"This is a lovely, historic, pub hotel. I believe that it has recently been completely refreshed. My room was great. My only concerns were related to the communication process. Being inexperienced with staying in a pub might be part of it. Checking in seemed fine, but returning to the hotel at 11:15pm, I found that I was locked out of the pub entrance so I proceeded to the door that I had been told was the after-hours door, but I couldn't see any "normal" key-card scanner. Luckily there was someone still behind the bar and I was able to knock and get their attention and they pointed out the very small, black button that I was meant to use. Being in my 70's, female, late, and alone probably made me more nervous than I should have been. (The streets felt very safe, FYI.) My second concern also could have been eliminated with a little better communication or info in the room. At my check-out at 9am, the pub is closed, and inaccessible. There is no one about. I wanted to store my luggage for a few hours and I wished that I had been told in advance that this would be the case. Other than these communication issues, I had a lovely stay, and I would be happy to return!"
