The Dark Horse Pub

I had seen online before arriving that it was on-street parking but I hadn't realised it can't be on the road the pub is on as it's a high street. We had to drive around a bit to find a space and certainly the roads and parking are very busy in the local area. When we arrived the staff were lovely and showed us up to the room. Be aware it was up a steep wooden staircase so not great for poor mobility. The pub itself seemed lovely and friendly and was running a quiz the night we stayed. The room itself was really cute, it's certainly an old building but it was clean, warm, bed was comfy and TV was all good. The shower in the morning was nice and warm and powerful enough, also lots of really nice smelling toiletries were provided. I had an issue with the shower tray becoming full but after some fiddling with the drain that resolved itself. Sadly I only realised there was no tea or coffee as I went to make it at 7am. We had seen the kettle, milk, sugar and biscuits etc but didn't notice the absence of actual drink. We did a full desperate search but to no avail. Now sadly my negative, I expected noise being in a room at a pub. It was very loud, as in could hear the questions in the quiz. That was all fine, however when the post quiz music was still going at 11.30pm I got a little concerned. Unfortunately following this when everyone left the noise outside the thin windows was terrible, bathroom window didn't close which didn't help. Sadly this meant little sleep

It was excellent I had to a nice time, spacious rooms

Great location

Steps up the property were slippery in the rain

Near- above- our friends party downstairs

If you need quiet to sleep this wouldn't be for you.

Convenient as attending a birthday party downstairs. Very comfortable bed and fluffy towels. Liked the eco-friendly shower products.

The bathroom is tiny and the shower cubicle felt flimsy and as though it was about to fall apart! Walls could do with a paint. Whist a convenient location (if using the pub) I think the room is overpriced for the quality.

Staff was very nice and friendly

I had a non-smoking room given to me but clearly the last person who was in the room was a smoking in it. It smelt terrible and all my clothes and my hair stunk the next morning.

Lovely clean room. Bar staff were very helpful and kind.

Overall great value for money, liked the location as well. WiFi was spotty, had to find another location to gain stable access and heater wasn’t on upon arrival so it took a while for the room to warm. Otherwise, we would stay again for a quick overnight

Good staff

Could be let in earlier would make a better experience

Cosy room, everything you needed, nothing you didn't. Great coffee.
