The check-in instructions were clear and straightforward, which made arrival completely stress-free. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is at 10am. With a relatively late check-in time and quite an early check-out, a later check-out option would be much appreciated. The room was lovely, with a very comfortable bed that ensured a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was on the minimalistic side, but still perfectly sufficient. The warm croissants were especially delicious. It would have been even better with the addition of some ham or cheese for a bit more variety. Overall, a very pleasant and comfortable stay ##### Agnieszka Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### michaela 2 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very comfortable bed and great room size.

Heated towel rail was not working and the main window blind was broken so it was unable to be opened. Otherwise a very lovely stay, thank you Bat and Ball team. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9C06C56EA2815F4391886CFE005C9F27319CD0141731863608044.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FA0E1B5AD136DC69D510222FA36FBEA8AE11CC7C1731863606630.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E29B94273D508BA643A0048BF424EE051A181CA71731863611249.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F356E51AC5956A6C5681AFAB368FABC2C25805D91731863615156.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alan Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Libby 15 Dec 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I really don’t like to write negative reviews, so I will start with the positives. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately it was quite noisy due to traffic and single glazed windows. We could also hear all other guests very clearly, doors banging, walking up and down the stairs and conversations. We didn’t sleep well here. The shower plug was blocked and didn’t drain sufficiently, we didn’t have electric in the morning so we were an able to make coffee and I was unable to dry my hair, resulting in missing the very very early 9am breakfast cut off time. ##### Libby Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Adrian 20 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Terrible nights sleep!!! So I cannot recommend. The Good: There had been a lot of thought and love put into the redesign of this pub into a B&B: decor, furnishings, technology, breakfast, etc are all great and the staff were lovey and helpful. All great, well done. The Bad: 1\. The road noise is terrible. We were in room 3 on first floor, a corner room, which was lovely. However, it fronts onto the road and traffic lights and only the larger lower window panes are double glazed. The smaller upper panes are single and most noise will come through these. They will be more expensive to double glaze and the property may be listed, which would add complications and cost, potentially. Nevertheless, completing the double glazing and adding a triple glaze pane on the inside would substantially remedy the road noise issue. 2\. There were three other rooms on our floor, occupied by three ladies. They talked in the room next to us from 10pm when we got in, until 1am. I slept after that for a couple of hours before being disturbed again by the road noise and lightly dosing for another 4hrs. The walls a clearly not sound insulated, but could be retrospectively, although staff could also request/educate guests to have consideration for other guests especially after 10/11pm. Feedback is a gift to help improve. In my business, we actively seek feedback to help us improve and win more business. Hope you take this in the same way because you have a great B&B, but my primary objective in any hotel/B&B is to have a great night sleep. ![Lovely shower.
