The Holroyd Arms

Desperately needs a clean. Bathroom was dirty, dirty walls, mould around the shower tray, cobwebs, fan filter filthy, fan wouldn't go off, faulty light, no toilet roll holder, no hot water at the sink, no soap or hand towels, towel rail looked ready to fall off the wall. Side of bed stained, chair dirty, even the TV screen was dirty. We were advised we could check in after 1:00pm, place was locked up and couldn't get hold of anyone by phone until after 3! Loud music from the on site club, and disturbed by people talking loudly at the tables positioned right outside our window. Was cheap but that's all that can be said for it

Great place easy to find car parking easy and free. Rooms comfortable neat tidy and clean. Good selection of tv channels including netflix if you desired. We came down for a mates bday had drinks before and after going out to town in the bar area. Pub full of character nice bar area. Great area with stage for bands and crowds. The staff were welcoming friendly and helpful. Outside area is lovely as well plenty of benches chairs etc. Would highly reccomend we will actually come back again just to have a night out at the pub itself

No breakfast. We booked believing from the various websites that this establishment offered breakfast, this is not the case. Outside there is also a sign stating B & B. One has to go to a cafe for breakfast or as we did, drove to a Tesco for a bacon bap. On arrival the lady who greeted us was very pleasant and warm. The people in the bar area were male contractors, who from conversation stayed at Holroyd Arms frequently and were quite lively in a nice way. Suspect they are the main customers of the business. Also seems to have quite a few live music nights. The room was appeared clean but some of the items listed as being available were missing e.g. toiletries, hairdryer. The toilet roll holder was missing off the wall. The duvets were thin and there were no pillow protectors under the pillow cases or proper mattress protectors. We did inspect the pillows carefully. Heating was good. The walls are quite thin and we could hear a person snoring in the next room. When looking for a hairdryer, my husband open a storeage area in his bed base and he said the interior was not clean. We had to ask for extra tea bags and milk only two bags and milk in room on arrival. The evening meal on the first night caribbean food was on offer. It was very good, having goat curry with rice, fried cabbage and plantain. The second evening my husband had a pie with mash and peas, it was passable. I had a burger and it was very nice. The burger itself was juice. Whoever the chef/cook is/was are good. The bar area is all very high (elbow height) tables and high stools not very comfortable. This establishment is not set up to cater for families or disabled. The staff are warm but we would not stay here again. We felt we had been mislead by the advertising on various booking sites and we were not told about no breakfast when we booked directly with the establishment.

We received a warm welcome on arrival. The room (number 5) was basic but we were already aware of that. It was good value for money. The walls are very thin so we could hear people talking in the other rooms. And we were kept awake for ages by someone snoring VERY loudly in the next room. Once we got to sleep we did sleep well. We woke up around 8am and the snoring was still going on ! We appreciate that nothing can be done about that. It was very handy to be able to attend the gig at The Holroyd and then stay the night - to save us driving all the way home.

Went to the Holroyd for an evening of live music and decided to stay over. The room was clean and tidy and the hosts Lisa and Andy were excellent. The bar had been recently refurbished and it looks great, a perfect place for live music. The pub garden is also a nice place to chill out complete with outside bar. The only downside was the number of Happy Hammers around but you can't have everything :-)

Fantastic music venue, great food and wonderful staff. Well worth a visit check out the website always lots going on and accommodation available as well as sports and social events Good size venue with adequate free parking
