The Brickyard

Verified

93/100
The Brickyard is a cracking little music venue in Carlisle with a buzzing atmosphere and heaps of events, though it's got a couple of accessibility niggles that they're working on.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • The sound quality for gigs and events is top-notch, really enhancing the live music experience.
  • There's a fantastic variety of events on offer, from music gigs and comedy nights to quizzes, keeping things fresh and exciting.
  • Wheelchair access is available via the side door, which is a thoughtful touch for making the venue more inclusive.
Areas for Improvement
  • There aren't any accessible toilets at the moment, which could be a bit of a hassle for some folks, though they've got plans to sort that out.
  • The operating hours aren't clearly listed, so it might take a bit of faffing about to figure out when it's open, which isn't ideal for spontaneous visits.

Yellowjacket is a charming little cocktail bar in Carlisle, serving up brilliant drinks and warm service, though it's a tad small and has limited choices in some areas.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cocktails are absolutely fantastic – reviewers rave about their Whiskey Sour and Fashioned Manhattan, making it a real treat for cocktail lovers.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating; they'll even offer a free shot or a discount if something doesn't hit the spot, which is a lovely touch.
  • It's got a cosy, relaxing atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding with a drink, and the friendly dog on site adds a bit of extra charm.
  • With a solid 4.7 rating from plenty of folks, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a great experience overall.
Areas for Improvement
  • The seating is quite limited, both inside and out, so it might feel a bit cramped if you're after a spacious spot.
  • The whisky selection is on the slim side, which could disappoint if you're keen on exploring a wide range of options.
  • It only opens five days a week with somewhat variable hours, so you might have to plan around that for your visit.

  • With the status showing as closed, I wonder if there might be some downtime – always best to confirm it's open when planning a visit.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit noisy when things are buzzing, which might put a damper on if you're after a quiet chat over your meal.

  • The food's absolutely brilliant – reviewers are raving about the pizzas, pastas, and even the tortellini, with fresh pub favourites and those unique sharing towers that sound like a fun way to tuck in with mates.
  • Staff are super friendly and attentive; it's heartwarming to hear how they check in on you and make everyone feel welcome, adding to that cosy, traditional pub charm.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, from continental lagers and craft beers to classic cocktails and an exciting wine list, so there's something for every taste.
  • The atmosphere is spot on with Sky Sports, regular live entertainment, and a new outdoor terrace – perfect for enjoying a pint or a meal with friends and family.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit hit or miss; one person had a right off experience with rude staff over a simple coffee order, which put a dampener on things.
  • If you're popping in for a quick takeaway, it might not always run smoothly – like that Sunday lunch that was delayed due to weather, which was a bit frustrating.
  • Coffee options are limited; no alternatives like oat or almond milk, and one review mentioned it tasting more like warm milk and water, so it's not ideal for everyone.

The Crown & Thistle Inn is a charming traditional pub in Carlisle, where you'll find cracking ales, solid food, and a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is just spot on – it's a proper, authentic British pub that makes you feel right at home, especially if you're after that traditional vibe rather than something flashy
  • They've got a brilliant selection of real ales, always well-served and up to scratch, which is a real treat for ale enthusiasts

  • There's a lovely outside seating area, perfect for enjoying a drink on a sunny day or soaking up the fresh air
Areas for Improvement
  • It might not appeal to everyone who prefers a more modern or glitzy venue, as it's all about that classic, no-frills pub feel
  • Without an official website, it's a bit tricky to check out menus or details in advance, which could be a hassle if you're planning a visit

88/100
The Kings Head is a charming historic pub in Carlisle with cracking real ales and a cosy feel, but it's got its quirks with service and reliability.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of real ales, including award-winning ones like Yates Bitter, making it a must-visit for beer enthusiasts.
  • Lovely historic location right in the heart of Carlisle, perfect for a quick stop after exploring the castle or cathedral.
  • Welcoming vibes in the bar at times, with chatty staff that make you feel right at home.
  • Decent food options available until the afternoon, like fish and chips, which have been a hit with some visitors.
Areas for Improvement
  • Inconsistent opening hours – it can be a bit of a gamble whether it's open, especially if it's quiet.
  • Occasional rude or sullen staff that might turn you away, which can really put a dampener on things.
  • Limited draught beer selection beyond the ales, so if you're after more variety, you might be disappointed.
  • The space can feel a tad small or cramped downstairs, making it less ideal on busier days.

The Howard Arms in Carlisle is a cosy, affordable spot with cracking ales, solid pub food, and a relaxed vibe that's ideal for unwinding with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of cask ales that are always well-kept and a real treat for ale enthusiasts.
  • Delicious home-cooked pub grub, like the hearty Cumberland sausage – nothing overly fancy, but reliably satisfying.
  • A warm and homely atmosphere with quirky decor, comfortable seating, and that welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home.

  • Dog-friendly setup, which is brilliant if you're out with your four-legged mate.
  • Lovely beer garden for enjoying a drink outdoors on a nice day.
Areas for Improvement
  • Occasionally, food might not be available due to staff issues, like illness, which can be a bit disappointing if you're set on a meal.
  • It's a straightforward traditional pub, so if you're after something more upscale or gourmet, it might not quite hit the mark.
  • The overall experience is simple and unpretentious, which could feel lacking in variety for those seeking more excitement or options.

Areas for Improvement

  • There might be occasional inconsistency in food quality, as one person mentioned their favourite dish wasn't quite as brilliant the second time around.

Penny Blue is a cosy spot in Carlisle's heart, serving up creative tapas and grills in a historic setting, with plenty of charm but the odd slip in service or food quality.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food has some absolute gems, like those tasty scallops and perfectly cooked steaks that really hit the spot.
  • Service is generally spot on, with staff being quick to apologise and sort out any issues, making you feel looked after.
  • It's wonderfully dog-friendly, so you can pop in with your four-legged mate without a worry.
  • Set in a historic old post office building with original features, giving it a charming and stylish city centre vibe that's perfect for a relaxed evening.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food can be a bit hit or miss, with some dishes coming across as average or even dry, like that salmon that didn't impress.
  • Prices feel a tad steep for what you get, especially if you're after something that feels more like fine dining but ends up tasting like standard pub fare.
  • There have been a few order mix-ups, which can put a dampener on things even if the team tries to make amends.
  • The atmosphere might be a bit quiet or flat at times, particularly midweek or early in the evening, so it doesn't always buzz as you'd hope.

  • The atmosphere is relaxed and community-focused, with a nice, airy feel that's great for catching up with friends or even bringing the dog along.
Areas for Improvement

Areas for Improvement

  • Noise levels can be an issue, like with live music that's a tad too loud, making it hard to chat over dinner in certain spots.
  • There have been occasional mix-ups with orders, such as non-veg items in vegetarian dishes, and the response from staff wasn't always as helpful as it could be.
  • Booking ahead is a must, as seating can be a bit hit or miss, potentially landing you next to a speaker or in a less ideal area.

  • From what we've seen, it doesn't seem to offer much in the way of food options, so it might not be the spot for a full meal.

  • Without an official website, it's a tad tricky to check the latest details or menus before heading over.

The Cranemakers

4.4(75 reviews)
86/100
The Cranemakers is a friendly traditional pub in Carlisle with cracking pints and a welcoming crowd, but watch out for the noise from TVs and the occasional doggy drama.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The pints and food are spot on – absolutely delicious and hit the spot every time.
  • It's got a warm, welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff and locals who make you feel right at home.
  • A proper traditional pub vibe, perfect for a casual catch-up or enjoying events like football matches.
Areas for Improvement

  • There have been issues with dogs not being well-managed, even though it's meant to be dog-friendly, which could put some folks off.

Redfern Inn

4.4(79 reviews)
86/100
The Redfern Inn is a cosy Carlisle local with superb beer and a welcoming crowd, perfect for a relaxed pint, though it's strictly drinks only.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer is absolutely spot on – plenty of folks rave about the well-kept pints and that authentic Cumbrian charm that makes every visit feel special.
  • It's got a cracking welcoming atmosphere; from the moment you step in, you're made to feel right at home, with friendly locals and a real community vibe.
  • A top spot for social fun, like joining in with darts or pool teams, which adds to the lively buzz and makes it a great place for a casual get-together.
  • Prices are dead reasonable, so you can enjoy a good pint without breaking the bank, which is always a win for a night out.
  • It's a proper local haunt with a strong sense of community, where you can pop in for years and still feel that warm, familiar feel.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's drinks only, with no food on offer, which might leave you a bit peckish if you're after a proper meal alongside your pint.
  • The overall vibe is great but could feel a tad limited if you're looking for more variety in what a pub might typically provide, like grub or extra entertainment.
  • Being unclaimed by the owners might mean things aren't as polished as they could be, potentially leading to the odd inconsistency in service or updates.

The Andalusian

4.3(198 reviews)
85/100
The Andalusian is a welcoming bar in Carlisle serving up tasty tapas with friendly vibes, but watch out for those smaller portions that might not quite satisfy.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The service is top-notch and really friendly, making you feel welcome right away.
  • It's got a classy, inviting atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed evening out.
  • The food, especially the tapas, has some cracking flavours that keep you coming back for more.
  • With a solid 4.3 rating from plenty of folks, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a good time overall.
Areas for Improvement
  • Portions can be a bit skimpy for the price, leaving you feeling a tad short-changed, especially at £20 a head.
  • Some dishes, like the fajitas or mixed grills, could do with more meat or fillings to make them feel more substantial.
  • Service might hit a few bumps, such as food arriving in dribs and drabs or running out of basics like wine glasses during busy times.
  • Not every meal hits the mark; a few reviews mentioned everything tasting a bit too breaded and underwhelming.

The Crescent Bar in Carlisle is a welcoming little gem with cracking cocktails and a friendly vibe, perfect for a laid-back drink, though watch out for the prices creeping up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cocktail menu is absolutely spot on – I've heard fantastic things about their Long Island Iced Tea, and it's a real highlight for anyone wanting a proper drink.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming; they go out of their way to chat about the drinks, like letting you sniff different gins, which makes for a lovely, relaxed evening.
  • They've got a great selection of beers, ciders, and stouts, including some unique ones like Blind Pig Premium Cider and Theakston's Barista Stout that you might not find everywhere else.
  • Live music on Friday nights adds a fun buzz, and it's a popular spot that feels vibrant without being overwhelming.
  • It's conveniently located near Carlisle train station and has a charming atmosphere that harks back to a more easy-going era.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can be a bit on the steep side – paying over £5 for a pint might make you wince, especially if you're out for a casual night.
  • They sometimes run out of popular items, like a favourite wine, which can be disappointing even if the team apologises nicely.
  • It gets pretty busy on weekends, so you might have to jostle for space or wait a bit longer for service.
  • The food options seem a tad limited from what I've seen, with mentions of homely fare but not much detail, so it might not be the first choice if you're after a full meal.

Linton Holme Inn is a welcoming, affordable spot in Carlisle that's all about good vibes, cheap drinks, and plenty of fun activities – a real gem for a relaxed pint with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and provide brilliant service, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • Prices are spot on for a good night out – you can get a meal, pudding, and a pint for just £20 on certain nights, and the drinks are among the cheapest in Carlisle.
  • It's got a lovely cosy atmosphere with a coal fire, perfect for relaxing, especially on a chilly evening.
  • Loads of entertainment options like live sports, quizzes, darts, pool, a jukebox, and even a piano – it's a proper old-fashioned pub with something for everyone.
  • The food and beer selection is top-notch, with a nice variety of pints that hit the spot every time.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours seem a bit inconsistent from what's listed, which might make it tricky to plan a visit without double-checking.
  • No website or online presence means it's not the easiest to get the latest info or book ahead, which could be a hassle in this digital age.
  • It has that classic working man's pub vibe, which is charming but might not suit those after something a bit more modern or fancy.
  • With only a handful of recent reviews available, it's hard to get a full picture of how things are going lately, even if the overall rating is solid.

The Boardroom is a charming traditional pub in Carlisle with a solid 4.2 rating, offering a welcoming vibe and cracking beers, though it's best for those after a simple, no-fuss pint rather than a full dining experience.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is wonderfully warm and welcoming, making it feel like a proper local spot where you can relax and unwind.
  • They've got a great selection of beers, like the superb Wye Valley HPA, which comes highly recommended for its quality.
  • The staff and hosts are friendly and engaging, with events like trivia nights adding a fun touch to the evening.
  • It's conveniently located in Carlisle's historic quarter, near the Cathedral and other attractions, perfect for a quick stop after exploring.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food options are pretty limited, with only chips or crisps on offer, so it might not satisfy if you're after a proper meal.
  • Some folks have mentioned the beer can be warm and the pub gets a bit too hot, which can put a damper on things.
  • The bar staff aren't always the chattiest, and a few have come across as a tad dour, missing that extra spark.
  • The quiz nights can be quite focused on local knowledge, which might not be as enjoyable if you're not from around Carlisle.

The Caledonian is a cracking little pub in Carlisle that's all about affordable drinks, friendly faces, and a lively buzz, though it falls short on food choices and beer variety.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The drinks are incredibly affordable, making it a brilliant spot for a budget-friendly night out with mates.
  • The staff are super friendly and full of banter, which really adds to the lively atmosphere.
  • It's got a great vibe, especially when it's buzzing with people, and they often have karaoke on Fridays and Sundays for a bit of fun.
  • Conveniently located just a short walk from the railway station, perfect if you're popping in after a trip.
  • They've got a disabled toilet, which is handy for those who need it, and the overall setup feels welcoming for a casual pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • There are no proper food options on offer, just crisps and the like, so you might need to head elsewhere if you're peckish.
  • The beer selection could do with more variety, like a few real ales on tap, as it's a bit limited right now.
  • There was an unfortunate incident with access to the disabled toilet, which might be a concern if you're visiting with someone who has mobility issues – it's worth checking in advance.
  • It can get very busy, which is great for the atmosphere but might make it feel a tad overwhelming on peak nights.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are always lovely and friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in
  • Food hits the spot with tasty options like the new bigger burgers and Korean sticky chicken – proper yum for the price
  • Spotlessly clean facilities, especially the toilets, which is a nice touch when you're out for a casual meal

Fells Restaurant is a welcoming gem in Carlisle, where you'll find cracking food, attentive service, and a touch of historical elegance, though it might not be the spot for a wild night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, which really adds to the homely vibe.
  • The food is absolutely delicious and well-prepared, with plenty of praise for the chefs' creativity and the great value on offer.
  • It's got a lovely atmosphere blending historical charm with modern comforts, perfect for a relaxed evening out.
  • Convenient location near the M6 and train station, plus free parking and Wi-Fi, makes it easy to pop in without any hassle.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours wrap up fairly early around 8:30 PM, so it might not suit those after a late-night pint or lively session.
  • With not many recent reviews, it could feel a bit under the radar compared to busier spots, so you might miss out on that buzzing energy.
  • As it's part of a hotel, it has a more refined feel, which could make it seem a tad formal if you're after a casual, down-to-earth pub experience.

  • With inconsistent opening hours and only being open four days a week, it might be tricky to catch it at the right time.

The Crown & Mitre is a charming spot in Carlisle with bags of historical character and a great central location, though it has a few outdated elements that stop it from being top-notch.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got that lovely Edwardian grandeur with beautiful original features like a real log fire, making the place feel warm and welcoming right from the off.
  • The location is spot on, right in the heart of Carlisle, which makes it a breeze to pop out for a pint or explore the local scene.
  • Rooms are generally spacious and comfy, with some modern perks like free electric charging points and even a swimming pool and sauna to relax in.
  • Breakfast can be absolutely brilliant when it's on form, and the bar meals, like a good steak pie, hit the spot for a hearty feed.
  • Secure parking is included, which is a real bonus in a busy city centre, and it's all free for guests.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some rooms feel a bit dated and haven't seen a fresh coat of paint in years, so they don't quite live up to the hotel's grand history.
  • Staff can be hit or miss – a few are really helpful, but others come across as unhelpful or not as friendly as you'd hope.
  • The mattresses are on the basic side, with springs you can feel, which might leave you tossing and turning instead of getting a proper rest.
  • Breakfast isn't always up to scratch; it's pretty average at times, so you might not be wowed every morning.
  • You could end up lugging your bags up the stairs if assistance isn't on hand, which isn't ideal after a long journey.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a cracking spot for a quick pint or a catch-up with mates, especially with the app making ordering dead easy—no faffing about at the bar.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, particularly when there's sport on the screens, creating a lively buzz that's perfect for a Saturday afternoon.
  • Location's brilliant—right near the station, so it's ideal if you're popping in after a journey, and they've got a nice outdoor area for a smoke or fresh air.
  • Staff are friendly and efficient, and the ales are of good quality, which is always a win in my book.
  • Being a Wetherspoon, it's budget-friendly, so you can enjoy a decent drink without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food can be a bit hit or miss; some have had nasty experiences with undercooked items like burgers and pizzas, which is a real downer.
  • It gets absolutely packed, especially on weekends, so you might struggle to find a seat or enjoy a quiet chat.
  • While the service is generally quick, there have been times when things go wrong, like food not being remade properly the first time around.

Carlisle South End Constitutional Club

4.2(65 reviews)
82/100
This is a cosy, traditional club in Carlisle with friendly service, affordable drinks, and classic games like snooker and darts – a hidden gem for a relaxed pint.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The bar staff are absolutely spot on – they're friendly and make you feel right at home.
  • Drinks are great value for money, with good prices that won't break the bank.
  • It's got a real old-world charm, like a classic working men's club that's one of the last of its kind in Carlisle.
  • Plenty of fun activities on offer, such as snooker tables and dart boards, perfect for a casual game with mates.
  • The ale quality is top-notch, and they've got an excellent range of whisky to choose from.
Areas for Improvement
  • It has that traditional, no-frills vibe which might feel a bit outdated if you're after something more modern or lively.
  • No website or online presence makes it tricky to check out details like events or opening times before heading over.
  • Reviews have been a bit sparse lately, so it might not have the buzz of busier spots in the area.

Deja Vu in Carlisle is a cracking spot for 60s, 70s, and 80s tunes and a lively atmosphere, but it can sometimes fall short with rowdy crowds and lax security.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, with fantastic music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s that gets everyone up and dancing – it's a real treat for a nostalgic night out.
  • The staff are friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home and adding to the overall fun vibe.
  • It's tucked away in the heart of Carlisle's lively night scene, perfect if you're after a proper singalong session with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • It doesn't always live up to the retro theme, sometimes feeling more like a modern rave bar with a younger crowd that can spoil the experience.
  • There have been reports of unacceptable behaviour, like verbal abuse, and security not stepping in, which leaves a bit of a sour taste.
  • The place can get overcrowded and messy, especially with drinks spilling everywhere, and it's only open a couple of nights a week, which might not suit everyone's plans.

81/100
Felson’s Cocktail Lounge in Carlisle is a lively gem for cocktail fans and pool lovers, with a solid 4.2 rating, but it has a few niggles like ID checks and extra fees that could put a dampener on things.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is quirky and really fun, making it a great spot to unwind with friends over some games.
  • The pool tables are top-notch quality and nicely spaced out, so you won't feel cramped while playing.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced with a fantastic selection of cocktails that are new and inviting – perfect for trying something different.
  • It's a brilliant place to spend the day or kick off your evening, with a welcoming vibe that's all about enjoying yourself.
Areas for Improvement
  • Staff might not always accept non-UK ID, which could be a real hassle if you're visiting from abroad.
  • There are extra charges for games on top of a deposit, making it feel a bit of a rip-off and adding up quickly.
  • Some tables are bumpy, which isn't ideal and can spoil the fun of a game.
  • You might have to wait for a table if you don't book ahead, so it's worth planning in advance.

Gallaghers is a welcoming Irish bar in Carlisle that's all about that classic pub charm, with affordable drinks and a friendly crowd that makes it easy to settle in for a good chat.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is spot on – it's a proper old-school pub where you can have a laugh and chat with friendly locals, just like in the good old days.
  • Drinks are incredibly affordable, which is a real treat these days – you'll be pleasantly surprised by the prices.

  • It's a great spot for a casual catch-up; plenty of people mention it's perfect for talking and enjoying a pint without any fuss.
Areas for Improvement
  • They might not always show the sports matches you're hoping for, like that Celtic game someone missed out on.
  • It's not the fanciest place around, so if you're after something more polished, it could feel a bit rough around the edges.

The Border Rambler is a cracking little pub in Carlisle that's full of energy and warm hospitality, though it might be a bit overwhelming if you're after a quiet pint.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and always up for a laugh, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • It's got a lively atmosphere that's perfect for a good night out, with a great mix of music that gets everyone singing and dancing along.
  • The pub is spotlessly clean and efficiently run, especially at the bar where they serve up quality beers without any fuss.
  • Ideal for groups, whether it's a casual catch-up or a proper party, as it's buzzing on weekends and has that welcoming vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • The music can get a tad too loud at times, which makes it tricky to have a proper chat with mates without shouting over the tunes.
  • There have been a few hiccups with table arrangements, like staff moving things around without much notice, which might disrupt your group's setup.

Walkabout in Carlisle is a cracking spot for sports enthusiasts and those up for a good night out, blending live action, tasty grub, and a friendly buzz that keeps you coming back.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially for live sports like football and rugby – it's like being in an Aussie bar right in the heart of Carlisle, with huge screens and a real sense of excitement.
  • Staff are top-notch and incredibly friendly; from what I've heard, folks like Millie, James, and Kel go out of their way to make sure everyone has a great time, which really adds to the welcoming vibe.
  • Drinks are a steal, particularly those weekday pints at just £2.50, and the food options like the Kickin' Chicken wrap or a juicy beef burger with fries are spot on for a casual lunch or bite.
  • It's brilliant for events, whether it's a bottomless brunch, birthday bash, or catching up with mates – the DJs keep the party going with great tunes, and there's even a beer garden for when the weather's nice.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty packed on weekends, which might make it a bit overwhelming if you're after a quiet pint, though that's part of the lively charm.
  • Food service wraps up fairly early at 9 PM, so if you're planning a late-night outing, you might miss out on grabbing a proper meal there.
  • With the overall rating sitting at 4.0, it suggests there could be the odd off day with service or crowds, even if the recent reviews have been glowing – always worth checking ahead for busier times.

Unit Bar in Carlisle is a cracking little spot with a stellar DJ that promises a top-notch night, though it's still flying under the radar.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The DJ here is absolutely brilliant, really knows how to get the crowd going and make for an unforgettable night.
  • Based on the feedback, it's a fantastic spot for a lively evening out in Carlisle, with a welcoming vibe that leaves you wanting more.
Areas for Improvement
  • With only a single review to go on, it's tough to get a full picture of what it's like on a regular basis.
  • No website or online presence means it might be a bit of a challenge to check opening times or get in touch easily.
  • The operating status seems a tad unclear, which could lead to some surprises if you're planning a visit.

The Roadhouse Hotel is a budget-friendly pub spot with a cosy welcome, but it's showing its age with some tatty rooms and noise that might spoil the vibe.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's incredibly affordable, making it a top pick if you're on a tight budget and just need a place to crash.
  • The staff offer a warm and friendly welcome, which really helps set a welcoming tone when you arrive.
  • Some of the basics hold up well, like comfortable beds and a working TV, so you get what you need for a simple stay.
Areas for Improvement
  • Rooms can feel a bit dingy and worn out, with issues like mould in the bathroom and tired furniture that might put you off.
  • Noise from the pub downstairs and the busy road outside can make it hard to get a good night's sleep.
  • Facilities are pretty basic, with sparse WiFi, limited toilet paper, and areas that could do with a deeper clean, like grubby carpets or showers.

Cheap place to stay , very tired in places yet warmly welcome by owner. Away from town centre on busy main road with some takeaways near by. It suited our needs yet won’t be paying a return visit.

You get exactly what you paid for. Dingy room, mouldy bathroom. Not a single intact strip of caulk. Worn furniture. Noise from the pub downstairs. Glad we brought our own pillows because the hotel pi...
