    cozy bar
    uncomfortable bed
    flooded bathroom

    The cozy and inviting bar area was a delightful escape.

    My stay at The Fleece Inn was marred by significant issues. The bed in Double Room 4 was uncomfortably small, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. the walk-in shower flooded the bathroom, turning a simple shower into a messy ordeal. I even had to roll up a towel as a makeshift dam, which only partially helped. As a couple, we expected a more comfortable experience that matched the property's positive reputation.

    delicious meal
    quiet table

    It was just a perfect match for spending a night in Shireshead with value for price. The meal I had was delicious and truly memorable. Make sure to ask for a quieter table if you prefer a peaceful dinner.

    good stay, but a bit noisy

    The property had a fresh ambiance, with excellent food quality that stood out during my meal. My room was spacious and comfortable, making it easy to relax. I enjoyed the lovely beer garden, which provided a delightful place to unwind after a long day.

    Noise from the bar area made it challenging for a peaceful night's sleep.

    vibrant atmosphere
    friendly staff
    limited breakfast
    overlooked request
    cramped desk

    The vibrant atmosphere here is delightful, with remarkably friendly staff enhancing the overall experience. Special mention goes to the well-presented evening meals that made dining enjoyable. the breakfast selections were limited, and my request for condiments was overlooked, which is surprising for a place that has shown potential. The room's desk was slightly cramped for work, adding to the minor inconveniences during my stay.

    welcoming staff
    bar area congestion

    The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The interior design of the inn was exceptional, and I loved the clean, fresh room that I stayed in. The bathroom was spotless, and the bed was very comfortable, which was a relief for my solo trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the homemade evening meal and the delicious cooked breakfast, both prepared with great care.

    There was a slight issue with noise from the bar area during my stay.

    breakfast presentation
    missing condiments

    The Fleece Inn offers a delightful atmosphere with charming, quirky rooms. Though breakfast could be improved with better presentation and basic condiments, the overall service was warm and the evening meal was satisfying. The staff stood out for their attentiveness during my visit.
