We were shown to an attic room, up many flights of stairs and doors, with very low ceilings. The headroom in the bathroom was extremely low. If you were over 5ft 4" you would have to crouch down to have a shower. The room was incredibly stuffy. The double bed was two singles zipped together so had a dip in... More

Booked very last minuite with the offer of a £45 room on laterooms. Swift call to the hotel and got the same terms over the phone. Hotel had the slightly dowdy appearance of many such venues, and had the feel of needing a lick of paint in places. Once we'd got past the various methods of entry depending on the... More

The hotel must have been some sort of large coaching house in the past. It is now a large busy pub with rooms to rent above. The room was perfectly fine and the service for reception was good. Service at breakfast was fine as was the breakfast. I stayed for £50 - fantastic value for money.

We wanted to go for a work lunch as one of our colleagues is getting married soon. As we are limited by time (and had an extremely bad experience with our Christmas Lunch at Longs) we were concerned that anywhere could actually ensure we had our meals on time. We wanted somewhere with a good range of dishes (we are... More

Stayed on a Saturday night. It's above a really busy pub - the bouncers wouldn't let me in through the main door during the evening - said I had to queue up to get in even when I explained that I was staying in the hotel! There's a night entrance though which you can get through. The room was small... More

My fiancée and I had a rare night off from a 10yr old and were looking for somewhere close by and reasonable and found The Goddard Arms on the Late Rooms website. Even though our stay was on a busy Friday night for the pub downstairs, once you were upstairs you couldn't hear any noise at all, even with the... More

Stayed here for 3 nights. Lively pub with great beer garden. We were not disturbed by noise at all during our stay. Staff were very friendly, helpful and polite.
