Quaint old building with friendly staff and good food. A little mildew in the bathroom, and not the most comfortable bed are why a less than excellent rating.

Very good facilities in a small room dbl bed. Hostess waited my arrival at 22.45. Any bottle / jar needs properly unpacking to ensure correct usage. Soap very difficult .

Lovely, comfortable place to stay

Stayed one night before travelling to the Scilly Isles. The room was clean and comfortable and we slept really well. Only briefly interacted with staff, but she was friendly and helpful. I would think it's a nice place to stay longer and on return to the area I'd definitely rebook.

Great experience

Very nice room. You've got everything you need for a few days. TV, Selfridge, tea bags, biscuits, coffee, milk, shampoo, shower gel, hair dryer...etc.... It made you feel like at home. Sometimes they will have parties at the common area that you can join as well. Love the band and music! Very easy connection to town - M6 bus within 10 minutes. I would suggest it to anyone who would like to go to Panzence.

We liked being in an old pub building and the large outdoor beer garden with live music. The foyer and stairs up to the rooms were OK but could easily be made more appealing.

Disliked: Amenities
This is a budget accommodation so if you adjust your expectations accordingly, you should be okay. These are rooms above a pub so if you need to go to sleep before midnight, this property is not for you, unless you’re a heavy sleeper (we were there Friday through Monday and Saturday was the only reasonably quiet night). The en-suite bathroom was also too small for comfortable movement.
