The Willow House

DO NOT BOOK THIS ACCOMADATION... it is truly awful !!!! We booked it via Airbnb and I am amazed that it is even listed?! Probably, if not the worst we have ever stayed in! Room smelt damp, black mould on the shower tiles and base, dead insects in light fittings and the worst beds that are old and sagging. The pub itself is not actually open to the public so do not expect to get a pint and some food next to a log fire.... you get a scabby continental breakfast left in a questionable fridge, and 2 slices of bread wrapped in clingfilm. Oh and there is a warning sign to say that the toaster may set the fire alarms off! Rooms are behind the pub down a very dark walkway and there are empty beer kegs everywhere and dead plants in pots. Could be such a nice place... but it is not! We received no messages from the host until the day we were due to arrive, and it warned us that "We are going through a period of minor refurbishment to our outside areas so The Willow House looks a bit scruffy around the edges atm"... Strangely enough, this was the case 2 years ago in other reviews?! DO NOT waste your money booking this place and the owner should be totally ashamed of himself...

Very friendly and helpful staff. Service was fast and efficient. Cosy ambience. My wife and I both had the battered fish and chips with mushy peas which was quite well done. The prices of food and drinks were mid-range. There is ample free parking and free wifi.

Warm and inviting with a charming bar Room was clean, warm and well equipped. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Carpark is large and easy find. Bar is wonderful, would stay again.

So easy to book in and stay My daughter and I had a lovely couple of days staying with you. The ease of booking in contactless was fantastic. The complimentary breakfast was an added bonus. My daughter was thrilled when we returned after a day out to find her teddies had been tucked into bed ready for her.

Not a bad stay Comfy bed and reasonable DIY breakfast (cereal / toast / yogurt / juice) but property a bit tired outside and inside. We had the joy of a water pump constantly on and off all night which kept us awake. Sound proofing in general isn’t brilliant. Did the job for a night but it is not the height of luxury - damp in bathroom and ceiling clearly had a leak at some point. The welcome message states they’re under going some refurb - I didn’t see any work ongoing.

Beds comfortable
