"Stayed here overnight on a business trip today . Booked through a company agent and had a meal booked a room breakfast. On arrival, the parking is somewhat awkward, luckily I bagged a spot directly opposite the pub this is not a pub car park but free parking is available however maybe worth dropping your bags off before parking up in the local area. On entry to the pub I was greeted and shown to my room where my key was laid on the bed, nice room, towels tea coffee, hair dryer and generally a cozy room room 2 . Good wifi also. It was a bit cold so I closed the window wide open in October? , the room radiator was off so turned it up but the heat never came maybe on a timer? I did take this up with the hosts and asked for a portable heater which never came. I was offered a different room very quickly which was lovely Heavy rain and weather in the area at the time, after checking in to the first room, I decided to work from my pc, the room then sprung a leak over the bed, after an hour of being in the room, it became apparent, nothing major but a roof leak. I reported it later and suspected due to it being an old building this was probably a one off leak but did need investigating. A bulb was out on a bed side cabinet, surely this was a room check? A loose toilet seat needed tightening up , and the shower, on ‘it’s hottest setting’ was tepid look warm. Also the central heating was not on, I mentioned this to the manager on shift whom was great and came to see me during my evening meal and made a point of approaching me which was really nice and showed the establishment management where kept informed of issues as guest checked in well done staff! , however a heater never appeared. Later in the evening I resided in my second room, again there was no heating. The girl behind the bar was superb and so apologetic"
