Fun pub to stay in, good ales, friendly staff. Good location next to A30, excellent parking, comfy beds.

Bed was very comfortable the bar was great and staff were great .

Cold room not hoovered in the corners, with dust build-up in places, little flow to the hot water in the basin, noisy road outside. Had to stay 2 nights and didn't see the staff, except for the barmaid leading me to the room, saying "This is the room" and giving no additional information, such as meals available, room heating, door times, what keys do what. Had the basics, but won't be staying there again.

Staff polite , very helpfull , room was very clean ,great location not far from town center

Nice clean and cozy cabin outdoor seating area near the pub. Only real issue was the lack of hot water as it was the middle of winter would be a good place to stay in the summer..

Mould and mould spores on the bed head, walls around the beds and ither areas, shower room floor was wet.

Room spotless, staff helpful, room warm, nice bath and shower, lots of choice of drinks. Nice pub

Room spotless and comfortable, staff great. Food was a bit average.

The pod was clean and had everything you need.

The gentlemen that was working Friday night that gave us our keys was a pleasant gentleman. He also checked us out on Sunday and is friendly. The price of the stay was on par with the local area but I would not return unfortunately. The water pressure in the bathroom sink was ridiculous to the point where it nearly didn't produce any water. The shower temperature was blistering or cold, one of them electric showers that takes 5 minutes to perfect with the dial. Cobwebs in the room which tells me cleaning the rooms regularly was not a priority. Be prepared for live music/general pub noise until 2200 on weekend! On the plus side the area for parking was large and you can walk into town/seaside in 10 minutes.

Tiniest en suite, would benefit from a smaller basin. Noise from the bar underneath until 11.45 on a Sunday evening!

Rooms above the pub are extremely basic ( we stayed in room 1) The bathroom door does not closed properly. The shower is extremely rudimentary and has very little water pressure. There is a dusty airing cupboard that is rammed with towels but it would not lock. Above the bed is a cupboard with all electric circuits for the pub, kitchen and rooms. I don’t think it should be in a bedroom. The condition of the room and furniture is outdated and tired The carpet does not look the best. The landing is messy and the access unappealing. Our room was directly above the pub and on the first night it got a bit noisy until midnight. It seems that the excellent ratings are for some pods outside the pub, but they are stand alone near the beer garden and brand new. The pub, surprisingly, does not provide breakfast and although our room had a tiny fridge and coffee and tea facilities, there is virtually no room to be able to have anything beyond a cuppa. The only saving grace is that the staff were lovely and the pub is quite charming. We did not eat in there as the menu is nothing exceptional ( some menus on previous reviews must be ancient as the one provided has nothing to do with them)

Lovely staff, lovely room and really nice place.

Room was small but had everything we needed. Bathroom was good and so was dinner.

Lovely quiet and comfy stay, you wouldn't know you were above a pub!

We stayed 2 nights at The Pirate inn. We arrived around 18:30 and the pub was already busy. The room was small with a double bed and en suite bathroom. The bed was reasonably comfortable but the pillows were very had. The room was clean tea and coffee making facilities were available. On the second night there was live music in the pub and this went on until quite late. We were down visiting relatives and only needed a bed for the 2 nights so completely adequate for our needs. The staff were friendly and the bar food was good.

Only sayed for 3 nights

Convenient high street location but with no parking, we found a spot on the roadside not far away but can imagine in peak season, this wouldn’t be an option and a public car park would be the choice. Friendly bar staff showed us to our room straight away, it was a pretty tiny double with not much room to move around the bed or in the ensuite, but cosy, clean and comfortable, with mini fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. Breakfast was provided in a cool bag with cereal, croissants, orange juice, milk etc. We were a little disappointed not to be eating in the pub but what we had was actually fine, just struggled with the space in which to get it prepared! Checked ourselves out with keys left in a box- no fuss. Not a huge choice of places to go for eve meal. The pub below was busy with quiz night and we headed off for pizza at a nearby restaurant.

Lots of parking space and food is remarkable.

The room was good but the shower was difficul to keep an even temperature. Parking was good. The dining experience was ok apart from the table should have been cleaned prior to us sitting down to eat. Which was a shame as the service and food was first class.
