The property was great and the price was very competitive for the surrounding area. They allow as to arrange late check in and late check out, although it took quite a few calls and they still knocked on the door whilst I was doing my interview. We also had a few issues ordering breakfast but in the end it arrived and it was really great. Overall, I would highly recommend

Lovely pub with comfortable room. Friendly staff and nice beer. I was greeted with a warm welcome and escorted to my room. Tea/coffee making facilities were present and fresh milk available on request in the bar. I only had breakfast once but it was tasty and well presented.

When we arrived at 8.45pm there was only a young lad there waiting with our key. Apparently the owners had done a moonlight flit and left everything to be sorted out by the young man who honestly did his best. There was no food on offer as they had closed the pub. The room was very clean and very comfortable (thank goodness). Limited coffee and tea facilities though. They had a lot of maintenance people there the next day which was a bit noisy. Such a shame as it has the makings of a nice place.

This was an overnight stay while working locally and this place was chosen for its location and the fact that it’s a pub as well. The room was nice but could do with some TLC but I was very comfortable. The bar area was a little cold but I soon warmed up with the lovely food that was on offer and the staff were really friendly and helpful which is why I would recommend this place to others thinking of staying here.

Short stay otherwise would have complained x very smelly room on arrival with windows wide open. I know petty but only teabags in room, no coffee and on going down stairs to restaurant on asking young man looked at me like i had 2 heads and asked me to buy a coffee. Have to pass through dish washing and kitchen to get to out of way door to upto room.

The new menu was very limited with not a lot of choose from. The starter we ordered cam with garlic but there was no mention of garlic on the menu when i pointed this out we were offered a replacement but were told that the chef prepares them before hand and a new one would need to be prepared and it would take a bit of time . At the end of the meal the waitress said ,thank you for your patience, i a very condescending way like it was all my fault . We did notice several meals being returned to the kitchen ,Having looked on line the food on there is nothing like what is served .The room was very nice but for the plug in the sink did not work so we had to leave the tap running to get a wash . I wont be staying there again its such a shame its a nice looking place .

I have stayed at the Rising Sun a handful of times and it was always so great, they have had new management since my last visit a couple of months ago and that now really shows in the hygiene of the room and service.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We chose this hotel as it is dog friendly and it certainly is. Our room was nice and spacious and the bathroom very good with plenty of room and a great shower. I was also impressed to see that there were plenty of gluten free options on the menu and the meal we had was delicious. A lovely relaxing stay.

Lovely rooms attached to the Rising Sun Pub. We only stayed for one night for work, but everything was fantastic. The rooms were lovely and the menu at the pub was great as well. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay again.

I travelled down with other family members for a funeral. We needed 2 nights bed and breakfast in a dog friendly hotel and the Rising Sun delivered exactly that. We received a warm welcome and the rooms are modern and clean. There is a great breakfast choice, cooked as you require (including vegan). There are playing fields close by with plenty of bins and fields beyond, so the dog was happy too! Would return!
