Welcomed on arrival lovely room & services explained. Dining in pub was very good & very sociable. Staff were a pleasure to be with. Only down side car or taxi (expensive to/from town) Would stay again no doubt

No one at the property at 3.30 when I turned up, had to wait with other customers outside. Room very dated, tv control didn't work, bathroom light didn't work, shower was broken.

waited for 1 3/4 hours for meal to arrive. Apoligies realy did not mean much ny this time. Toilet did not flush. Room was freezing as heating had been turned off. small light in toilet not working. Continental breakfast was not put out in time. Despite paying for upgrade, this is the reality. Trring to get there but a l o n g way to go. It is such a dissapointment, after looking forward to our stay.

Away for work
No one meeting me on arrival, phone call directed me to go and speak with chef to collect keys to room 9. Rooms are not above or attached to pub. Bed was comfortable, ensuite was roomy except for shower cubicle. TV in room had awful connection and most channels were not viewable. WiFi was okay. Ate at venue in evening, menu was small, but I had the lovely wagu burger. Service in pub was good. Car parking was free.

The property is rather dull and dated .. however was fine for my needs and my dog.. we had a chalet type room with our own door.. Telly a bit complex but I usually find that!! We were both made very welcome.. I also liked the trains going past

We had high hopes for the Dog & Castle based on the limited reviews for the place. Perhaps we are overly critical or the previous rerviewers were viewing the place through rose tinted glasses. Basically the place is in a poor state of repair, and whilst some attept has been made to make good the worst defects, the efforts have been amateurish at best. Fresh paint has been applied to just about everything, including the dinning tables! I think that Lauren Cooper must have been engaged as the interior designer as the decor can only be described as "interesting". There was a towel wrapped around the base of the sink stand, I suspect soaking up water from a leak and water appeared to be coming out from somewhere behind the toilet. On the positive side our evening meal was good. Look I understand that taking on a new business has a lot of challenges, but doing a half-arsed job on repairs to rooms that really need a serious revamp, by a professional builder, doesn't cut it these days. Saying bear with us while we sort this mess out, is no use to the guests staying there today.

Stayed 1 night. Room has a curtain that does not cover the window. Seating outside not useable as next to a dumping for windows and looked onto a hot tub for another room The room has holes filled but not painted, a kettle that has nowhere otherthan the floor to plug in as no high up socket.

First stay at Dog and castle and it was lovely. The staff were amazing and the whole place had a friendly and relaxed vibe. Rooms were nicely decorated, fresh and clean. It had a lovely beer garden area, pool and jacuzzis. Food was lovely but the menu was slightly limited. I would definitely go back!

We really appreciate being upgraded, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property has recently been taken over and there are a few maintenance issues, but it didn't affect the stay for us.
