The facilities at the Dog and Doublet are very good. Staff were very helpful, room small but comfortable - with tea and coffee making facilities, ensuite clean and stocked with soaps etc, choice of breakfasts is a good range and well cooked. We would stay again, but preferably not at the height of a heatwave as sleep was difficult because we could not have windows open due to being on the main road side of the pub. However, a room fan fan was provided.

Generally a good place to stay, room was very small for a double and breakfast experience could be better with some cereals and fresh fruit rather than just a cooked breakfast of the menu.

My room was cold and damp - clean but as said cold - I was offered an alternative that was equally cold - then offered a heater to help that was better - but heating was turned off overnight with the outside temperature being zero degress therefore it was cold in the morning - was glad i could put the alternative heater on - overall not ideal and uncomfortable because of the cold, which was throughtout the property! One member of staff was very helpful (cannot remember her name) - breakfast staff were very slow and not attentive at all, quality of the breakfast was poor.

After a minor hiccup with our room not having been made up from the previous guests, everything was extremely good. If this is the area you want to stay, this place is highly recommended.

Friendly country inn

We stayed for 2 nights and had a lovely time. Our large room had a comfy 4 poster bed, table, chairs in the bay window. Bathroom had large fluffy towels, lots of hot water. The views from both windows overlooked the well manicured grounds with benches, fabulous flowers in baskets and trees Breakfast was tasty with vegetarian options. The Eggs royale was excellent. Inn was clean, tastefully decorated with friendly efficient staff.

Comfy

The staff were very friendly and polite. The hotel room was nice with 2 options for pillows. The bed was comfortable and there was a kettle to make hot drinks. Downside was the room was freezing with the air conditioning on, I couldn’t find a thermostat to switch it off and I was very cold overnight. The shower hose leaked at the shower connected snd on the side, spraying water everywhere. The shower fittings were loose and need replacing.
