Bearing in mind the cheap price it was satisfactory. Bed was VERY low and whilst a double it was tight up against a wall on one side and less than a foot on the other, so would not have been at all suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Bathroom small but good. No indication of food available on site but we eat out anyway. Staff friendly, some road noise as needed window open as it was hot. Not sure why there was also a big sink in the room. Overall ok but would not want to pay more.

Start elsewhere Booked a stay with my partner and unfortunately, it didn’t meet expectations. The room was situated in the eaves, which made it hard to stand upright in places—we kept catching our heads when getting in and out of bed. The bed itself was extremely uncomfortable, with springs pushing through the mattress and a broken base that offered no support. It must have been the cheapest bed they could find. We ended up cutting our stay short and leaving early just to get some rest at home. Which was disappointing when we had booked a day of work and could have finally had a lie in. The bathroom was very compact to say the least, the sink was tiny and positioned awkwardly over the toilet, making it difficult to use. Only one small towel was provided between the two of us, and there was no staff on site in the morning, that we could find, to ask for more. Overall, the room was very poor and not well thought out. It was unclear how fire safety standards were being met, as we were at the very top of the building with one staircase down and the bedroom door didn’t look reassuring in that regard. So if there was a fire outside our door I don’t know how we would get out or if the bedroom door would hold long enough. Disappointing experience and not somewhere we’d choose to stay again. Having to get up early because we couldn’t lie in the bed any longer was not what we were looking for and having to leave to come home and have a shower and get back in bed for some actual sleep is not good.

Nice welcome great pub but the room was in the eaves and for a 6ft man it was small and cramped

Stayed at the Shepherd’s Rest as it is close to our daughter’s new house and there are limited chain-hotel options close by. The establishment is a pub with rooms upstairs. No on-site parking but plenty of available spaces on the street outside. No food when we were there but there are lots of other options within walking distance.

Good stay above a friendly pub, only downside was the lack of breakfast on site.

Great property for short stay over, staff great, very welcoming
