Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was nice but very very hot and uncomfortable at points during night. Breakfast was disappointing as breakfast stotties ordered and one was cold and the other was half empty. Also coffee machine was not working and it was noted to make americano but it was very watery and they wouldn’t provide a caffietere or pot of tea which they used to. Service at this point was disappointing as they noted they didn’t want to make the coffee.

Bedrooms very nice,however TVs need updating.you cannot park your car at the joiners arms it is a 3-400 yard walk to a car park.we arrived at 10 past 2 to check in and blankly told check in is at 3pm,even without asking our name to check if room was available.when we did check in simply directed to our room and told key in the door,which it was not. We had an evening meal in the bar area and it was simply that.nothing extraordinary,however must say the staff were excellent,very helpful,polite and hardworking but understaffed,they were ran off their feet.very well done to them. We checked out a day early on a two night booking….

Nice big rooms
Lovely spacious rooms. Loved the roll top bath in the room but the water wasn’t too hot. We had been to a wedding so came home late to find the door to hotel locked & it took 5 phone calls to get entry.

Not a 5 star gastro-pub, just a pub.
The 5 stars clearly awarded by themselves, gastro pub - I think not. Its just a pub with pub food and any pretence of class evaporates at breakfast time when families from the rest of the Newton Hall estate descend on the place to fill their lunch packs from the buffet counter... Lots of friendly staff and nice touches here and there but none of it joins up to provide a great experience.

Food lovely , rooms a little tired looking . Staff friendly quite pricey but what you would expect I suppose for a gastro pub.

Very nice breakfast I've eaten in the evenings here before (which was lovely)but this time we did a late lunch and opted for a walk to the ship along the road for a quiet drink instead.

Over priced
We were somewhat disappointed with our stay. For the price we found our accommodation very basic. Although quaint and quietly there was a lacking in the basics l would expect from a 5* hotel. There wasn’t a mini fridge or any wine glasses in our room.
