Descubra sua estadia em Publow

We stayed here as a family on a short break, the family room sleeping 3 was lovely with a double and single bed in one room with a spacious bathroom. Only small negative is the room gets a bit hot and we needed to have the window open at all times but that opened on to the main street above a pub so you do get regular noise. We managed with this but it might bother others. The parking is in a public free parking space with limited numbers, it’s tight but we got a space each night. The pub was great to go for a drink and a meal with plenty of seating options

It’s a unique place. It has a hostel vibe but it is budget accommodation in a pub and so, for me, that’s to be expected. The ladies behind the bar and cleaning staff were lovely. We stayed in a family room and it is a spacious room and well stocked in terms of teas, coffees etc. and also the rooms have extra items in them that you don’t expect in a budget room such as croissants, cartons of juice, water and cereal which is a sweet touch. The beds were comfortable and the room was surprisingly quiet given it is above pub which has a lively annex bar attached to it. There is parking available right outside the pub on the road or you can apparently park in the football car park across the road (we didn’t need to as there was space outside). The only downside for me was there was a very bad smell in the en-suite bathroom but the bathroom was clean and so it must be plumbing and/or ventilation that is the issue and, with this being such an old building, I’m not sure what can be done about it.

When I phoned to confirm the time we would have dinner after arrival was told the restaurant was closed for a charity do. Booked hotel back in November and coming a long way wanted to eat in because the hotel had a good food recommendation and resident parking. We thought oh the actual dining room booked out but on arrival after a terrible journey from N Herts were greeted by no residents parking left due to party it was dark and raining, and the entrance hall was packed with people as well as public rooms they were sitting on stairs etc making takig cases in difficult. Ok it was for a last minute event for a good cause, but this was not professional when you are also an hotel. My double room for single occupancy had been occupied by a heavy cigar smoker. I was moved after our son and partner came in and agreed not good. The rooms were both doubles and very very crampt around area for dressing table, tiny shelf for making drinks and clothes open hanging rail. Our sons room was more spacious but did agree not idea hanging space. Both en-suite showers were no more than a trickle. The rooms were clean. The beds were also very comfortable. One of our party had a brunch meal and that was deducted as goodwill gesture. My son and partner very much enjoyed their two full English breakfasts, my second breakfast I asked for poached egg but two arrived untrimmed stacked on top of two slices of toast and on a cold plate !! Very unappetising. The staff were all polite and helpful which was a bonus

We had the loveliest time here the staff were so lovely and friendly. It was about a 30 minute walk into town and if you are travelling into town at rush hour walking is the best way as the traffic was pretty bad. The room we stayed in was beautiful and clean and tidy and we were blown away by the service from the staff it really was lovely infact I was shocked to find they were part of a group and not independent as it felt the kind of service you would get from an independent. The bar and restaurants were lovely and the building was so beautiful inside and out we had a really lovely stay toiletries were provided and they smelt beautiful. thanks so much we had a lovely time.
