The Greyhound Inn and Hotel

Guests appreciate the delicious breakfast, comfortable rooms with cozy beds and showers, and friendly staff creating a pleasant atmosphere. Some enjoy the outdoor seating area. Cold weather is not an issue.

We’ve visited The Greyhound Inn many times over the years and always rated it highly, which is why our recent visit for Sunday lunch was such a disappointment. We ordered the £80 Sunday sharing platter. While it looked impressive, the quality just wasn’t there. The beef was overcooked and tough, the cauliflower cheese was watery and bland, and the gravy had no flavour at all. For such a high price, it felt like very poor value for money. What made it worse was the service, which lacked any warmth or attentiveness. No one checked on our table during the meal, and we had to go inside twice to ask for gravy that hadn’t been brought out. When we raised our concerns with a waitress, there was no response or acknowledgment at all. The standard at The Greyhound has gone down significantly, which is a real shame. We used to really enjoy visiting, but based on this experience—and the fact that our feedback email was completely ignored—we’ll be thinking twice before returning.

I booked this Inn in September 2024. I booked a twin room for me and my friend as we were going to Wales to watch the rugby. All good, all confirmed! We got to the Inn and 1st impressions from outside were great. Went in and got our room key but as it was already getting on for 9pm we decided to eat rather than go to our room 1st. The food was lovely but some bits were missing like the mayo that was meant to be with the chicken (from the Tapas menu). The hummous was good but only came with two tiny triangles of bread. Puddings were great. We paid and went to find our room. We walked into the room and were surprised to see clothes on one of the bed, a bag on a chair and a wash bag on a bedside table. We went back to reception to explain and the chap there was a little surprised. Once he realised this was the situation he got the chef to come and speak to us. Both were apologetic but were stumped as what had happened or what to do. They checked all other rooms and said there was only 1 left. It was as I took the key that I asked if this was a twin room. Awkward pause then they said no double. The chef said he was unsure what to say to apologise and asked if were going to the bar for drinks. We said no, it was about 10 by now and we'd had a long day and a long journey home the next day. We said as we luckily got on well we'd have to just share the bed. We were tired, at an Inn in the middle of nowhere, that had no other rooms available - what else were we meant to do / say?! The guy offered us a bottle of wine as an apology (we got a cheap bottle if white) and two of their free logo'd beer glasses. Not great when I had booked a specific type of room 5 / 6 mths previous and they'd given it to other people in error. We went to the room and found a tiny double bed to share. Sitting on the bed, adding to the crap situation we ended up on, the matteress just 'collapsed' it was like all the springs had gone - it was awful. So after trying to get to sleep listening to some loud neighbours we had a restless night. Openning the window as it was too hot all you could hear was traffic ALL NIGHT. In the morning a water fountain came on. It was not peaceful. Going for a shower one of the towels had a stain on it (reddy / brown), the shower tray was dirty. We struggled to get the bathroom door to lock. It was just a let down. So we went for breakfast. We walked in asking where to sit, the lady said on the table where your name is. As we looked she asked my name so I said and she the quickly swapped a name on a board on a table with mine and said we could sit there. Weird! We then got an apple juice each, in a glass i'd of given a child, it was tiny. I asked for well done, crispy bacon with a couple of other bits. The bacon was not crispy at all. Such a shame as it had potential but we wouldn't go back. So disappointing.
