Customer care and location

8.0 / 10.0

A friendly, comfortable English 'local'; I'll certainly return.

If you're a 'Full English' fan, this place is not for you as they only do a Continental breakfast. But what a Continental! Cereals, meats, cheeses, yoghurts and kefirs. Breads, croissants, crumpets with a range of jams and spreads. Eggs, beans and cooking/toasting facilities. Don't knock it; try it! Location is good, with off-road parking

Needs urgent refurbishment

* The personnel is friendly and responsive * The location is close to the centre of Ware

* WiFi not working (owner will take action to add booster) * TV defect (owner will buy new one) * Cleanliness of the room (dust, fungus…) * Towels (just 1) * Breakfast (instant coffee, food not refrigerated) * Noise from the parking and street next to the room You pay a relative low price, but still too much for what you get.

My honest opinion

A lovely little pub in Ware. Great location with a private carpark. The landlord and staff in the pub are lovely and friendly. Very helpful. He was a lovely host. Rooms were clean cosy and warm on a very extremely cold night when we stayed. In the morning there was a nice help your self breakfast. Good value for money.

There was nothing i didn't like about my stay

A pleasant and warm room provided adequate sleeping arrangements and the breakfast was substantial

Breakfast was varied and suitable for us. location was superb for the occasion we were attending nearby.

Breakfast felt rather rushed as we were told we only had until 9am. This was 8.50 am

The occupants decided to sleep on a sofa bed rather than stay here

As for upsides, it was warm, quiet, and the staff lady was friendly the one time we interacted.

I booked this room for my parents to stay in over the Christmas period (they don't speak the language), because some of the rooms pictured in their profile looked nice. Apparently we did not get one of the nice rooms. The room we got was instead barely larger than the bed it held. There was no space to hold toiletries on the tiny sink, no holder for toilet paper, no soap to shower with, and also no change of bedsheets over five nights, not that that impacted us much as my parents preferred to stay at mine for three of the five nights (they would have stayed in the room only one night, had I had the space on Christmas). There was supposed to be breakfast -which one could describe as passable-, but that was also not provided on Boxing Day because the pub was closed. I'm not sure, but assume the same was true on Christmas Day. Overall a stay that we won't repeat.

Best summed up as adequate

The location is excellent (for visiting family in our case but also for the town centre). Our room was warm and clean and the bed was very comfortable, the (electric) shower was good and such staff as we had dealings with were friendly and helpful.

We expected a small room but not the limited storage. Neither did we expect that there would be no hand towels or shower gel. An otherwise good continental breakfast was spoilt by a lack of decent bread and I don't regard having to scoop spread from a communal tub as acceptable. Our first night was spoilt by very loud 'music', the base of which would probably have registered on a seismometer. We were assured that this was not the norm and, in fairness, our other two nights were undisturbed. It is also over-priced, working out cheaper than the far superior Premier Inn and Feathers Hotel only because their breakfasts are extra.

We booked two rooms, the two upstairs were clean, we had a comfortable night and the showers were good. (You need your own toiletries).

Two upstairs rooms were small but adequate but the downstairs room accessed from the street wasn’t fit for use due to a strong gas smell which gave us a headache after a few minutes. We couldn’t use it so had to make do with the two upstairs rooms.

All in all. We enjoyed our stay and got a good night's sleep.

Simple room, not too big and not too small. Very cosy, clean and had all the amenities necessary. Not a cooked breakfast but continental, just as good and enjoyed it. Also bedding and towels were clean and spotless. Definitely up to scratch when it comes to a clean hotel room. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

Shower cubical was on the small side.

Welcoming, clean and comfortable

This is budget hotel that really delivers. Lovely staff, that made you feel really welcome. Rooms are simple and comfortable and very clean. I didn't eat the breakfast as I dont usually but It was included in the price and looked great. A simple and honest place. Would thoroughly recommend.

You know, its budget so manage your expectations accordingly and you get the positive review above.

Very bad

The noise of the room next to us we didn’t get any sleep , no toilet roll in bathroom, and to be given a 9am time for breakfast on a Sunday morning was really bad as going on a night out who wants to be there at this time , we came down at 915 and all cleared away .

5.0 / 10.0

Disappointing overall…..

The check -in process was easy and communication was good overall.

As a single occupant, the single room assigned to me faced a car park and was next to a loud external air conditioning unit. The room itself was tired and needed a refresh; the carpet was grubby and stained. No shower products were provided either. It was disappointing tbh. I decided not to stay the night and drove home to London.

Handy one night stay accommodation with excellent staff!

Close to town centre and the manager was extremely accommodating with my very late check in.

It was a little tired but it was perfectly adequate for a one night stay.

Breakfast

6.0 / 10.0

Good value for money, more than suitable for a quick overnight stay

Warm welcome; above a nice traditional pub that serves food (was going to try, but had long day, but looks like good grub), and breakfast included. Has a small car park, and also parking on the street. Passable TV, Tidy room, en-suite with decent shower; shops, and restaurants nearby - overall good value for money, more than happy

A little tired looking in parts; bedroom taps loose, and a cupboard door fell off in the middle of the night in the bathroom! Bed was missing a much-needed headboard, pillows a tad flat, and wasn't the most comfy of mattress.

7.0 / 10.0

An ideal stopover, with such a friendly warm welcome.

Great welcome and hospitality by owners!

Not a fault of the owners but the heatwave made our room VERY hot and airless. perhaps a fan might of helped but as heatwaves are not too common in UK this was probably an event not thought about. The road noise was very loud until very late - made worse by having to have the window wide open (heatwave!)
