Leak in the ceiling
The building was beautiful and the food was amazing. What really let the entire experience down was the leak in our rooms ceiling. From around midnight till 4am there was a steady stream of water leaking from the beams and down the walls in our room. Sadly, the leak was directly above where our dogs bed was, and by the time we realised that the water we heard dripping was inside the room, his bed was sodden. Reported it to staff who didn’t really know how to respond, only saying that it’s happened before. For £100 a night, I wouldn’t expect water to be leaking into our room.

Great little country gem.
A lovely place in a beautiful area, ideally situated for a number of walks. The hotel is really nice and the room was large and well appointed. Steph and her team are second to none and she is super helpful and nothing ever seems too much trouble. I would highly recommend this pub to stay, we’re sad to leave.

Wonderful place to stop while hiking the coast to coast trail. Didn't realize you had to walk around the building to check in just off the parking lot, since we didn't arrive by car. Steph was so welcoming and did a load of wash for us for a small donation in their cup on the bar. A fire alarm went off at 450 am bolting us out of bed. Turned out to be nothing but I think I remember reading about this happening before in someone's write up. Dinner and breakfast was good!

Lovely hotel close to motorway
Lovely hotel not too far away from the M6. Bed was really comfortable and bedding really nice. Food was nice and service good only problem was the numerous flies in the dining room. Breakfast was really nice and freshly cooked to order. Bacon was amazing! All the staff are really pleasant and helpful.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pub is very clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, ideal for a stopover on a long journey, ideal for walkers. The food was good pub fare. Ideal location, easy to get to the major routes north and south.

Restaurant closes early.
We booked this hotel at short notice (day before) since we were travelling north and needed a stop over where we could get something to eat. When we called we were told that the restaurant was closing between 8.30pm and 9pm though couldn’t confirm when. When we asked if we could come in at 8.30pm (still travelling at this point) they then said that it would close at 8pm! We had to stop at a KFC services to eat before arriving. When we arrived we went to the bar but left earlier than we intended because there were three very drunk men swearing very loudly and continuously. Staff did nothing but serve them and allow them to continue. One of them men even went around the bar area asking other residents if they were catholics or Protestants! All very uncomfortable. After retreating to our room and asleep we heard a commotion downstairs for some time. All in all an unpleasant stay.

Very average
This hotel is ideal for walkers who want a clean bed and some good pub grub for the night. We were a last minute booking and not walkers. Our room was in need of refurbishment. There was a problem with the shower ie no hot water which I did notify the staff of. The staff were very pleasant but the place obviously had a problem getting staff eg. The lovely guy who was serving us was also the barman, waiter, dealing with residents booking in clearing tables in what looked like a very busy evening.

We only noticed after we were packing up to leave that the duvet was very dirty, and we had to ask for toilet paper. Nicci was very helpful!

Disappointing stay at the Greyhound Inn
We arrived a bit late in the evening (we had let them know in advance). We had to wait a while to check in, as they were dealing with another customer who had an issue with his bill. It would have been nice if one of them could have helped us check in while the other took care of the other customer, as it was late and we had just driven a long way. When we got into our room, we had to kill several bugs. They apparently came in through the open window, which we then closed. Unfortunately, the small room was then incredibly hot and stuffy. There was no airflow at all. The hallway outside the room was about 10 degrees cooler than inside the room. There were also small spots of stain on some of the sheets and towels. The bathroom itself was clean, though. None of us slept well, mostly due to the room temperature and stuffiness. On the positive side, there was a good selection of continental breakfast items and made-to-order hot items, including vegan and vegetarian options, which we appreciated. Also, the staff members were all very nice and did their best to be helpful and accommodating. Unfortunately, due to the issues in the room, I would not stay there again.
