Room was clean and comfortable although the mattress wasn’t very comfortable. It’s a shame the view out of the window couldn’t be tied up. The pub itself is brilliant and the food and service is outstanding

basic clean comfortable place to stay

Room was clean and basic with good shower in the bathroom. Relatively small room with dated decor and could do with a refresh. functional and adequate if you just need a bed for the night. Adjoining pub is nice inside with outside terrace and local beer brewed onsight. Quick taxi or 15 minute walk from the centre of Ashby De La Zouch. Really nice engaging staff

Be aware no food served on a Monday nor is breakfast available from this hotel. Go to Beeches pub for dinner. About five mins down road. Olive tree ( next to co-op) also about five mins away. I don’t think sheets had been changed on one of the beds as they were stained.

Very Poor

Don't be fooled by the Hotels.com rating, not sure how this is so high. My room was unclean, cold, damp and not very welcoming. When I checked in there wasn't much of a welcome, just given a key. The room was unclean, what appeared to be chocolate cake crumbs on the bedside table, stains on the floor and on the bed, damp stains on the walls and very basic furnishings. Went to get an evening meal which was OK but felt like I was in the way, then found out they didn't serve breakfast evening though it's on their booking page. Overall poor....

Reasonable room with nice colour scheme. We liked the addition of juice on the drinks tray, as well as tea and coffee. (Shame it was PG tips) You can purchase a breakfast at the bar if you wish at a reasonable price. Bathroom was clean and includes mini toiletries. Room a little tired, with stains on walls and floors and some cobwebs - Halloween decorations perhaps :-) . Beds ok, a bit soft for us. Staff friendly. Easy to use heating if needed. Overall good.

Fantastic stay

We stayed at the Tap House for two nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was perfect 👌 We had a one bed room with plenty of hanging and drawer space. It was spotlessly clean and had tea, coffee, fruit juice etc. in abundace, nothing was skimped. The facilities in the bathroom were also excellent with lovely soft white bathsheets. We can also highly recommend the restaurant. Fantastic choice of breakfasts, especially the eggs benidedic, also the lunches and evening meals. You are spoit for choice. The staff were very helpful, efficient and very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Congratulations to all at The Tap House formaking our stay very enjoyable.
