Everyone was so attentive, nothing was not to much trouble. Food was the most Homely I have tasted. Portions were of good size. It was a welcome to find food piping Hot 🔥. The sleeping accommodation was very clean, Double Divan. Kettle coffee or Tea making, Fridge with Milk, Yogurts etc. Cornflakes and Rice Crispes supplied. Bathroom Very Clean, Shower Wc and wash basin.

I must say that I have nothing negative to say about the Axe and Compass. The check in was easy, the room that I had was very clean and comfortable. That facilities, in the bar were very good, and there was a very good and varied menu, though I must admit I did not eat, as I had already eaten. Another really nice thing about the venue, was the clientele, I was a stranger in the area, and the local clientele engaged with me in conversation, and made my stay all the better. Highly recommend the Axe and Compass, will definitely stay again in the future. Thank you to all in the bar and customers for a great evening.

Used as a base due to friend’s birthday locally. Lovely self contained rooms. Good effort at continental breakfast in the room. Would be nice if the fridge was cold for milk and yogurt though. It felt as if it had only just been put on before we arrived. Value for money.

We knew when we booked cheap that it would not be the Ritz but it was close to where we needed to be and accepted dogs so it fitted our needs. However the wood floor had not been hoovered and was covered in bits. The bathroom was shockingly filthy, not just a little bit. Really dirty. dirt on the walls, scum in the sink, an unclean toilet and minging shower. The beds were tiny and cheap. The minute you sat on them they moved across the floor. The breakfast included was good but we had to listen to the noisy fridge all night. Also it was way to o hot and there was no way of regulating it other than opening the window and listening to the goings on at the pub all night.

I liked the facilities in the room. It was very comfortable and had a good, powerful shower. The only thing that lets it down is that the walls and ceilings are very thin - I was disturbed frequently throughout the night as people came and went and got up to use the loo!

External lodges meant any noise from pub was minimal. The lodge was basic but adequate for our overnight stop. Beds were quite soft for us (but not in a bad condition.) Breakfast of cereal, juice and a pastry was in the room for us; this suited us as we had to make a prompt start in the morning. A fridge in the room was much appreciated. We had booked two rooms and we were placed next to each other, which we also appreciated. We found the pub very noisy at tea time (there was a party on) which discouraged us from eating there. Overall very good value for money paid.

The room was too warm they lent us a fan but it only helped a little and was extremely loud. The single bed mattress was too uncomfortable to sleep on as the serpentine springs had no padding under the outer cover and as it was so very hot I couldn’t sleep on the duvet either . Otherwise the room was comfortable just went in the heat wave 😏
