The Greyhound Inn

Sadly this place is nothing like the images on the website. We booked from a bride’s list for a nearby wedding and didn’t check the reviews. As other reviewers have said, it’s not fit for purpose. The staff showed us to an outside garage type door where we were supposed to be staying. It was dark, dirty and smelt of mould and dogs. The carpet was filthy, frankly wouldn’t have walked on it without shoes. The manager/ owner wasn’t around, the bar staff were helpful but understood that we weren’t happy. The shower had a hole in the wall with bare cement behind. Lampshade broken and towels smelt of damp. We couldn’t have stayed there, we gave the key back into the bar and left. The staff told us to cancel our booking to receive a refund. So far nothing. I have left the manager several voicemails and emailed him many times but he doesn’t reply. I would strongly advise against ever booking this property. I can’t understand why the brewery isn’t more concerned about the lack of health and safety measures in place. I usually don’t review anything unless it’s excellent but wish to warn people.

Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised at the character of where we would be staying. We received a very warm welcome & we’re shown to our room. We booked the family room with a double bed downstairs & two singles in the upstairs. Lovely layout. Bedding & towels were crisp & clean. Breakfast was nice but could have done with being bigger. Our 9 year old was still hungry afterwards. Now to the bad bits! I hate writing a bad review but I think it’s really important to let the owners know where they can improve. The carpets are beyond filthy, dirty marks stains all over the place & I mean everywhere! We actually didn’t feel comfortable walking on them bare footed. The walls need a damn good wipe down or re-painting. The bathroom had a cracked sink, the shower had no water pressure, hole in the wall where the pipe work goes through. The bathroom was dirty with previous occupants hair left in the shower. The flooring either needs a good scrub with bleach or replacing. Given lockdown I would have thought it would have been a priority to upgrade the rooms in preparation for re-opening. I understand the struggles of businesses but general cleanliness should be of a high standard given the £150 per night the room cost! Unfortunately we won’t be back which is a shame as it really does have the best character. Our family members ate in the pub & couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Definitely a mixed review & I would have loved to write a glowing one. But not on this occasion unfortunately.

This was my first time at a Pub and Kelly M made it unforgettable! She was so much fun and made me look forward to the next time. The food was also great. I had the mac n cheese, others had the pie and mash and fish and chips, all of them were really happy and the pub was happy to adjust some of the dishes. 10/10 would recommend
