Staff were absolutely lovely, and really accommodating. The room itself was clean and neat, no weird smells, and an aircon that works! The blind has gaps around the edges, so the room lit up very easily, and you definitely hear people talking in the car park. Considering location though, the traffic noise didn't bother me at all (my partner heard loud trucks every now and then). Absolutely recommend the pub for meals, great staff and delicious food (seriously, we're debating driving an hour and a bit just for the Mexican Parma hahaha). Oh, and there can be confusion with codes if you end up with a check out time after 10am, don't freak out tho, you get text a new code on the day!

Guided to the Star

We were welcomed so well from our first meeting at reception from the staff in the bar who gave us advice on the various drinks available. The food was tasty and delivered promptly and with always a few words of welcome. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We found the Guiding Star to be very friendly and we would recommend it for a stay.
