Likes:
The staff were friendly when I arrived and had already agreed to me checking in early so that I could go to work on time.

The room was spacious and clean and the bed was comfortable.
Dislikes:
Their website says 24 hour reception so I did not expect to find reception closed when I was ready to leave about 7:45 next morning. I had to phone the hotel to ask how to check out.

"It was a good room."
The room was good, the bed was a bit hard. I didn't have the best of sleeps, due to someone trying to get into the hotel, screaming and banging on the door. There was also alot of pigeon noise which kept me awake. The bathroom could have been cleaner. Read less
Likes:
The room was very nicely decorated and was a good size. The person who greeted me was friendly and helpful with local knowledge.
Dislikes:
The bed was a bit hard and the noise from outside.

"You get what you pay for."
Upon arrival at the Inn we were shown to our rooms, however straight away this was wrong. I had booked 3 rooms with one sleeping 4 and two sleeping 3. We were presented with two sleeping 4 and one sleeping 2.

The carpets had not been hovered and the bed sheets were dirty. We had rubbish still in the bins and on the table.

The mugs had clearly not been washed up.

On of the rooms was very cold and the food served up had to be re cooked. The rooms were never cleaned once during our 3 day Read less
Likes:
The location was ideal for us as we wanted to be close enough so that we could get into town every night fairly quickly.

"Dirty room, very disappointing"
My sister and I stayed one night and were very disappointed with the state of the room - there were dirty tissues under the bed, fluff and dirt all over the floor which clearly hadn't been hoovered in months. There was a broken tv in one side of the room, presumably just for storage, we shared 1 towel because 1 of them had huge holes in. The shared bathroom facilities were not kept clean and ran out of toilet roll by the morning. I have paid a lot less for much better rooms in the past Read less

"Don't expect to get any sleep!"
The accommodation entrance is outside in the street separate from the Crown & Anchor. Once the pub is closed there appears to be no one to contact when problems arise. We were woken by someone banging on the front door and shouting at 3.00am! Someone from an upstairs room let this person in, then there was lots of running up the stairs, shouting and screaming by a number of people that when on for an hour! woken again later after they had gone out and come back. It was very alarming. Read less
Likes:
Leaving in the morning!

Response from The Crown and Anchor:
I m sorry you had a bad experience staying with us , for your info , there is a manager on duty on call 24 hours , there is a sign in hallway explaining that , Unfortunately when we happen to have a group of younger guests staying ( not normal) they do seem to have a different time zone to "normal" adult guests ! On this occassion Mr Browne the duty manager chastised this group at circa 325 am and they were dispatched to bed .Apologies again RB
