The Dog House is our ‘go to’ place for a get together, we’re a group of 5 bikers, living miles apart from each other and the Dog House is central for all of us. Another great stay last night, friendly staff, great drink choices and a lovely menu/food. A great breakfast too. Thanks again, all

Felt the bedrooms could do with a spruce up, internet poor and room noisy as it was right on the road and the windows don’t seal properly there you could hear the traffic plus cold was coming through them

The ‘main man’ on reception/ bar duties, welcomed us on arrival and then although he was had anticipated a slightly early night ( ie empty lounge ) was happy to pause closing up so we could enjoy a night cap when returned from our family get together party. It wasn’t late late, only 10.15 but he served us all.

Really keen staff and good value accommodation.

I stayed one night. All interactions with staff were good, they seemed keen to try to do the best they could. I may have been lucky with my room but everything worked OK and it was in a quiet location which I really liked. The bar was fine, evening meal good and breakfast too. For what I paid I would say it was good value and very rare that I visit a hotel without a problem so thank you to the staff at the Dog House!

The restaurant and garden are nice and the service was good. Good selection on the menu, including vegetarian and vegan. The food was very good. Unfortunately the accommodation is extremely tired and is in desperate need of updating / painting. I have been generous with 3 stars as we ate in the restaurant both in the evening and morning. If you are looking for a place to eat which is dog friendly this is perfect.

Very friendly pub with rooms. Nice feel about the place, with a quality breakfast, ample parking, dog friendly, bar area as well as the restaurant, clean restaurant restrooms and good choice of draft beers etc. Hotel room beds comfortable with nice linen, comfy pillows and nice crockery. Unfortunately the hotel side of things appear ‘tired’ in many areas with our bedroom spacious but needing a good paint and furniture needing modern replacements. A lot of marked walls, carpets and furniture. No tea and milk in our room on arrival was quickly sorted by staff, but minimal cheap loo roll, unfilled soaps etc were disappointing. Old shower heads. Rooms need an armchair to sit in as only the bed was comfy. Windows had restricted opening so room hot and stuffy at night (fan available). Food in the restaurant (evening) average, roast dinners were dry. Bar staff shut up shop half an hour early with no last orders called which was a bit disappointing! We would stay again as reasonable charge for room, but with a bit of a make over the place could be amazing.

The Dog House

The room had a window, I am not sure why as it looked across to a wall. The shower just about worked, the control head did not work. There were no tongs for the continental breakfast, so hygine must have been poor.

the hotel staff were friendly and the rooms clean. No elevators if stairs are an issue. Very old decrepit inn. Road too busy to walk and nothing of interest in the area. You must need your own car if you stay at this inn. Lastly the food in the resteraunt was yucky.
