Stayed for one night whilst in the area for a family wedding. The barman who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. The double room was a good size and very clean and comfortable. The en-suite was an okay size and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was lovely and the staff were friendly. Just a few little niggles we had... More

Stayed for two weeks on business in November 2011, room was immaculate and newly refurbished. Food from the restaurant was great. Owner was friendly and cooked a lovely breakfast. Will defiantly be returning when next in the area and recommend the hotel to all. More

This hotel is, as others have said, extremely conveniently located if the RHDR light railway is the reason for your visit, or even just of mild interest to you. Food was of good "Pub menu" standard, and breakast was good and well presented The bedroom was comfortable and the shower worked well, although the hand basin was very slow to... More

Really did not like reception being in the bar as locals tend to look at you as if you have two heads! Rooms modern,clean and bright and excellent breakfasts cooked to order. Owners friendly and helpful. Would have liked some tourist information leaflets in the rooms and to have seen a restaurant menu somewhere as we had no idea of... More

On arriving at the Captain Howey I can quite agree that the welcome is a little unnerving. You check in at the bar, which is very modern in style, which is quite loud and populated by local 18 - 30s. The bar man who checked us in was clearly expecting us as he new the name our party was booked... More

We booked this following trip advisor reviews. The room was small but clean, plenty if daylight and well presented. Bathroom was very small but modern and clean. Only one small mirror in the bathroom for the whole room. You enter the premises through the bar. It wasn't a great start as it consisted of the barman and his friends treating... More

We ended up at this hotel at short notice and before we arrived dreaded the prospect of staying at pub accomodation. How wrong we were, the place is nicely decorated, clean fresh and very comfortable rooms and the staff very friendly, professional and accomodating. Pub food was good quality and the breakfast faultless. Bathroom was compact but had new fittings... More

The standard of the accommodation is not well represented by the ageing exterior of this pub/hotel. However, inside the recent redecoration throughout makes this a very comfortable place to stay. The double en suite bedroom we had was fresh and light. Again freshly redecorated with all new fixtures and fittings, the furniture, carpets and fabrics all well co-ordinated. Whilst we... More

The staff at this hotel were very friendly, though I had few dealings with them, and the breakfasts were fine. Both the bar area and my room appeared to have been recently refurbished to a high standard and were in excellent condition. The heating was very good, which was welcome since the outside temperatures at the time were freezing. I... More
