| I agree with philg7. The place could do with a decorate/clean. A group of us stayed at the Woolpack for the weekend. I can, personally, cope with "tired" decor of some pub B&Bs, but not with basic things missing from the rooms. E.g. no cups (despite having a kettle!), or no tea/coffee, or not enough towels, or no toilet rolls, or no bath mat or broken fittings, sockets hanging off walls. Pretty basic stuff!! most easily remidied by someone checking the rooms before guests arrived. Several rooms had TWO sets of bunk beds in them, despite being described as "twin rooms". No one told us the breakfast times and no one asked us what we wanted to eat! There was no fruit juice or cereals.I arrived at breakfast, sat down and then had a plate of "full English" plonked down in front of me - no one asked what I would like (which was not that!). Some folk didn't get their food until they had gone into the kitchen to ask, having already waited 25 mins for someone to come out. Again, we had to ask for some tea, more hot water, tea spoons and there wern't enough cups out in the breakfast room. Bit like Fawlty Towers. Strangest thing was that no one acknowledged our existence at the place. Normallly, at such a place, the landlord/lady would at least chat to you, ask what you would like to eat, ask if rooms OK or something, or just general chitchat. Nothing. It seemed as if they had absolutely no interest in folk staying staying there. The loud music/Karaoke from the bar and smokers shouting/swearing outside the front door (my room was above) all carried on till 2am on both Sat & Sun mornings. I got home with bad sleep deprivation - not what I would call a restful weekend's stay. newton - 20 Sep 2010 18:58 |
| I expected more from a town centre pub! Mucky carpets, poor decor,dirty glasses- all put me in no mood to eat!! On enquiring about food was told that they were not doing any(1.00pm-tuesday lunch!). having narrowly escaped eating there we were directed to the local chipshop- the landlord neglected to tell us there were two other pubs well within walking distance. the Red Lion was unfortunately closed, The Royal Oak was open and serving food. the welcome was much better, food and beer great- most importantly it was CLEAN!! shall not return to the woolpack. teetotaller - 10 Aug 2010 17:39 |
| We went here Sunday evening 18/7/10 and took a while to get served even though they weren't busy.The Batemans XB was very nice.The barman seemed miserable and only had Prawn Cocktail or Steak and Onion crisps which were chucked on the bar in passing after we paid.No food so we left after one drink.Hundreds of cigarette ends outside the front door gave it a shabby appearance.

| Interesting how 'stingray12' has only reviewed the one pub, methinks I smell a rat here! Hodge1 - 17 Jul 2010 12:30 |
| Outside looks good at first glance, the insides... well where do you start, the decor is dated, and none too clean. The rooms... Hmmm. Carpets were dirty, bed bases not clean looked decidedly grubby, the quilt cover has cigarette burns on it, and the walls had a sillouette of dirt where the headboard had been. There was a dirty towel from a previuos occupant still hanging up in the bathroom. the toilet had to be cleaned by my wife before she would even use it. Plus a power socket hanging off the wall. The friday night Kareoke went on till gone 2.00. Breakfasts however were good, apart from the staff could have done with washing their hands first. Good points None, except the Red Lion is only a short walk down the road, and they made us very welcome. Wish we had stayed there. philg7 - 17 Jul 2010 11:45 |
