Feedback about Dog And Whistle Pub Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Dog and Whistle Pub's superb town center location, with the train station conveniently within walking distance. The rooms are often described as lovely and spacious, with many guests appreciating the complimentary water, juice, and snacks provided, though some have noted the absence of tea. The exposed brick interior adds to the charm, and the rooms generally receive high marks for cleanliness, but a few guests have mentioned minor issues with dust or the shower. The pub downstairs is considered very cozy.

The room was large. The bed was very comfortable. The ensuite was also large and sparkling, it was great! I really liked this aspect!

My room was right at the top, so it got very hot. The staircase was steep and narrow. The ceiling was also very low, I struggled to get my bag up there.

Central Location with Excellent Room Amenities

large bedblackout blindshelpful staffused hand towel

The room was spacious with a large bed, a desk, and many pillows. Blackout blinds were great and I appreciated the water, juice, and snacks provided. The staff were helpful and the location was ideal for accessing local attractions and the town center.

I noticed a hand towel that looked to have been used. It seemed there was an oversight during the changing of the towels. The room could benefit from a spring clean as some areas were dusty. The shower head also needs descaling. The water did not flow properly.
