The Boot Inn

A nice big room, friendly staff and delicious breakfast.

We arrived early on our first day to enjoy meals from the lunch time menu. Both means were excellent, generous portions that were well cooked and presented. The waitress being very friendly and helpful. The check in however was not a pleasant experience, embarrassing to say the least.In front of several customers in the bar area we were asked to pay for our stay. We explained that the payment had left our bank account the day before even showing her the pending amount on our mobile bank account. We were told that as it was not showing on their system we hadn't paid and that the pending amount only meant that it was what we owed. A more senior member of staff, who may have been a manageress or owner, not sure, was tapping away on her phone and without saying a word just nodded her approval to the one checking us in.( a private area would be better) Without any apology we were then showed to our room, which was basic, but in need of maintenance and cleaning. The curtain hold backs of one window had come unfixed and were lying on the window cill, the room would benefit from redecorating and the radiator bleeding. The shower room looks good but showing its age with stained grouting especially the base and those areas hard to get to. The bed was so high that it was very difficult to get on to. Only staying one night ,didnt want a battle so we did not raise any issues with the manageress, who was stoned faced with no warmth or feeling as we didnt want to spoil our weekend.

Very nice stay good room very good food good staff very friendlyenjoyed are stay.

A great base for exploring the area. Lovely staff, excellent room, great food.

Newly refurbished downstairs. Parking good. Staff friendly. Only ate breakfast which was ok. Bathroom recently refurbished but had some issues which had to be sorted by staff. Not ideal at nearly 9.00 p.m. Bedroom itself dated.

Very pleasant room. The person who checked me in was quick, efficient, pleasant and friendly.

Great location, nice and quiet. Friendly service. Lovely breakfast bag each morning (no food was being served as the place is being extensively renovated). Comfy bed. Loved the shower! Would definitely recommend staying here.

The property was undergoing major renovations so only the accommodation was available. The room was very comfortable and room amenities good. We hope to enjoy the rest of the facilities when we visit next year to see how the renovations turned out and taste the food (which other guests had reviewed as really good).

Pub undergoing renovations so rooms with packed breakfast only (no problem for us). Spacious bedroom with good mattress, pillows and lovely linen. Particularly appreciated having the plug-in fan during the heatwave (thoughtful touch. Good bathroom (looked newly appointed) with great shower, window you could open a lot or a little, long shelf for toiletries (often missing then a soap bag ends up on top of the loo, but not here). There was a rail below the decent sized basin for hand towel (again often missing). Towel rail big enough for two towels. Flannels provided with towels (they rarely are). These may seem small things but they added greatly to our comfort when staying here. Generous packed breakfast with cereal, instant porridge, pastries and fruit. Particular liked proper milk provided in kilner bottles, ditto orange juice. Thank you.

Great stay as before great staff friendly and helpful just going to have a refit so will return to see the new building
