Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Found this great little place when I needed a one night stay for work. I'm a nurse so hygiene and safety were my priorities. Well what a find! I was not disappointed. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. My room was exceptionally clean, warm...and cosy with an ensuite bathroom, beautiful clean towels, free toiletries and refreshments. There was a TV and free WiFi and the decor was funky and fabulous. I enjoyed a lovely home cooked evening meal whilst soaking up the atmosphere and all in all had a lovely evening followed by a good night sleep. I couldn't fault this lovely little place, even found a free parking spot on the street outside. Will definitely be back. Annie B 31/10 - 01/11/22More

Went with hubby and friend for a Sunday roast. It was absolutely stunning. The beef was tender, Yorkshire puds gorgeous, veggies cooked perfectly, lush gravy and plenty of it. The staff are super friendly, excellent atmosphere. The best roast I’ve ever had cooked for me!...Dog friendly too. Will definitely be back!More

Stayed for three nights in this clean and comfortable pub house with rooms . Access 24 hours via fire escape and through pub during certain hours . Had room room 4 which has a double aspect . Bathroom and toilet not in this room just...across the way. Stairs between pub and rooms are fairly steep but manageable for all. Staff polite and friendly and good locationMore

I booked a last minute stay due to having a funeral to attend. What a pleasant surprise staying here was. All the staff were welcoming (including Medina who showed me to my room), the room and private shower room were immaculate. Great value for money...and the rooms are well thought out. I had an evening meal which was lovely, food & drinks reasonably priced. Beautiful river walk nearbyMore

I have been drinking in the Carps since I was 18, I’m now 49. I had a flat on the corner of Red Lion Street and Wormgate and used to be in there all the time. Admittedly I’ve moved away but decided to revisit my...old stomping ground and see if there were any familiar faces. The chap at the bar was served before us, ok, no problem. Then the two girls at the end of the bar were served, individually. Then the locals who came in after us were served., without a glance in our direction. I decided to walk out as they were taking the piss. So unless you are a regular I’d forget it, you probably won’t even get a drink. I’d give it a nought out of 5 if trip advisor would let me.More

Refurbished to highest standard, well maintained and a superb central hotel. Double rooms with en-suite and single rooms all to a high specification. Quiet and a bar that would normally be open if not for COVID restrictions although this didn’t effect our stay as working....Would definitely recommend and will be staying again..... Thank you so much to the owners and staff for a pleasurable stay x Michelle and colleaguesMore

This is a fun pub with a great Landlady (Carolyn). Down a little side street, it's reminiscent of how good pubs used to be before the conglomerates took over. PLenty of choice of drinks and a friendly atmosphere.
