Very good old pub refurbished to a high standard. Very cosy lively on bar and quieter relaxing restaurant at the rear of the building. Excellent evening meal and breakfast. Room was very comfortable.
An unexpected fantastic stay after reading some other reviews. It was probably one of the busiest weekends being the last before Christmas and we had a warm and friendly welcome, excellent and very quick service. The food was fantastic, my steak was cooked perfectly and our room was so comfortable. Breakfast was also brilliant. This will be our first port of call when back in the area!
We felt very welcome at The Admiral Hornblower. Shauna checked us in and was so friendly and helpful. She was great behind the bar, too. And the next morning we were served by Alex, another lovely lady. The breakfast selection was varied and delicious. A fantastic stay – we will be back.
Great location for a stay in comfort large room with fabulous en-suite and a great breakfast

It was quaint and generally had a nice feel to it but rooms could do with a bit of an upgrade especially the shower.
Really dissapointed with the whole stay. We arrived after a 7 hr drive to be told we didnt have a room due to an error on their side. The attitude was its ok we will find you somewhere! Was almost shocking. The worst was we had phoned ahead to say we were travelling from scotland and would be late checking in, told this was ok. At no point was it mentioned we didnt have a room! Luckily they did find us somewhere close by but were not apologetic enough in my eyes. It almost felt like they were doing us a favour. We had paid over £100 per night. The place they found only had availability that night so the poor person who had kindly put us up had to call the Admiral Hornblower to discuss the fact we had a 2nd night booked and paid for and could they accomodate us! I mean its just so poor. The guy who rescued us even said they didnt have a room but if we needed he would give up his own room for us. Bless him. We did however return to the Admiral Hornblower but the manager almost looked at us like we had 2 heads! No apology, nothing!!!! All in all was such a dissapointing stay. I would not recommend at all.
Great location, lovely staff, excellent room, breakfast and good value.

Great location, nice pub, great location welcoming and helpful staff, room quality was “ok” but decor was tired, chips, damage and dings, it looks like it could do at least with heavy duty decor maintenance or a revamp to be honest. Loud noises from the bins being emptied at 7am lost the “quiet” rating for us.
Great location and lovely accommodation. There were problems with getting a drink in the evening and service at breakfast both days was really slow. However the breakfast when it arrived was delicious! Hopefully these service issues can be sorted out
