The Grey Horse

Good for stay not bad..but poor wifi connection

Stayed here for one night recently while working in the area. Arrived into the car park to a group of loud drunk chavs out the back smoking and a neighboring house having a full on argument! Great start. The chav theme continued inside along with loud music, so loud I could hardly hear the girl checking me in who just gave me my key and said 'the rooms are that way'. The room itself was quite nice, some staining on the walls and the shower wasn't very powerful but it was passable. What really got me was the overly loud music and screaming coming from the bar, this was a Monday night and the music really didn't need to be so loud. I had an early start that day and an early start the following day so just wanted to relax. When the music finally went off at 11, the sound of a woman downstairs screaming like a banshee could still be heard at half 11. Needless to say I didn't get a great night's sleep! No one downstairs when I left so I just let myself out.

There was a disco playing loudly directly beneath the bedroom. The pub was virtually empty so there was no need for it. This wasn't advised when booking and my guest refused to stay there. The TV wasn't working in the room and there were no breakfast facilities. It is described as a B&B!

Had a fantastic time at the hotel, would come back again

Staff were welcoming Space to park Room was clean Plenty of towels Window was wide open to took a little while to warm up A good night's sleep until about 6am when there was a strange ticking noise (possibly the heating) that stopped me falling back to sleep

Just what I needed for one night. Shower was a little cool, but I needed to get clean, not wallow!

Great pub. Lively atmosphere. Live music is still quite loud in the rooms until finish time 10/.30/11pm(?). If not your thing may be best to check if there is any music planned for the night of your stay. (My stay was Saturday night)After hours area is very quiet. Limited on site parking at the rear with narrow bays. Additional free parking on the road without issue. Food is available but I gather the kitchen keeps variable hours so if you intended to eat there may be best to check first

Due to an involvement with problems internationally, I tried to speak to the hotel about postponing or even cancelling. I rang three ( 3 ) times during the week before. The answer machine cut in each time, took my message explaining mitigating circumstances but the hotel never rang back, pure ignorance on behalf of the hotel and its staff. Not good business.

Quality.
