The Tap House

Although my price was with a discount it was not even worth that. Room was absolutely filthy, beard hair all over the floor in the bathroom, hairs in the sink bed had brown stains in, towels were covered in stains. The shower leaked everywhere, rubbish down the side of the bedside tables, dirty mark on walls, skirting boards that looked like they’ve never been dusted In their life, walls are paperthin and can hear everything my neighbours are saying on the phone. Cobwebs from the wall to the bed frame. Just not practical or clean especially with my 2 year old child during a pandemic. Such a shame because the staff were lovely upon arrival and In the bar, the outdoor seating area is beautiful and there’s a kids park, but the place is clearly not what it seems.

Good price. Comfortable bed and good temperature in the room despite the uncomfortable heat outside. Unfortunately the room was let down by the low standards of cleanliness. There was somebody’s false nail on the carpet. There was an empty shampoo bottle on the floor in the shower, indicating the shower hadn’t been cleaned. The inevitable Gideon’s bible in the drawer has got wet at some point and is mouldy. You don’t exactly expect soundproofing in any hotel accommodation but we could hear every word that the couple next door spoke so don’t expect to be able to hold a private conversation here. And the TV didn’t work so no hope of drowning out your conversation with that. In summary, the bed was clean and comfortable and it served its purpose for a night’s sleep. Don’t expect much more than that.

Visited with my husband, we both had the lamb shank & it was to die for! The young lady who looked after us was lovely, and the man in charge who showed us to our table & opened a window when he saw we were too warm was very attentive. Big shout out for the beer which is brewed on the premises too!

We stayed here for one night in January 2022. We arrived around 6:30pm and when we got to our room the heating hadn’t been switched on & it was absolutely freezing cold!!! We went to a nearby pub/restaurant for food as The Tap House had stopped serving at 6pm (it was a Sunday evening, we were aware of this, that was fine.) When we returned to our room, it was still cold, even though we’d turned the heating up as high as it would go. It was cold ALL night. There was also a dog in the vicinity - not necessarily on site, but certainly nearby - which took to howling in the middle of the night. We barely slept all night. Upon reading the guest information the following morning we saw that additional blankets are available “on request”. In a room as cold as that one, the blankets need to be stored in the room, not on request when there aren’t staff readily available on site.
