The pub is quite nice and the food quite good though I did feel it was a little expensive. £4.95 for Treacle Tart and Custard I think is quite expensive. Breakfast was very good with a traditional cooked breakfast. The room was in my opinion the worst room I have ever stayed in and I have seen a reasonable amount. It has not been redecorated for years and should be gutted. I can live with a simple basic room somewhere but what I do expect is a clean well kept room. This was not. It was filthy with dust, cobwebs behind doors, sweet wrappers behind the bed, mould on the bathroom blind, window ledges and general dirt in the cupboard and anywhere else which was slightly out the way to reach. I felt like touching as little as possible. The tap in the bathroom could be hardly moved and the lights either didn't work or the were filled with mould, dirt and dead insects. The TV had exposed colour coded wires from the plug and I doubt been safety checked. The outside door handle was barely on the door and most concerning was the black smoke marks halfway up the wall when you enter the room where there had obviously been an incident. If I hadn't have had to drive 2hrs home then back in the morning I would of refused to stay. The bed and sheets were however clean if nothing else was. The room should not be available to customers till such simple clean standards can be adhered to and the room redecorated to a basic standard which would be better than at present.
