Loved by The Pavilion Arms guests
"In our room there was a small fridge containing bottled water and a half pint bottle of fresh milk for the obligatory tea and coffee...such a nice touch."
"Loved the little touches and attention to detail: Lavender spray in the room, complimentary drinks and real milk in the fridge."
"The room was lovely and warm it had a real cosy feel to it, had a very powerful Dyson fan which was great."

The staff were helpful and friendly. the room was lovely. Everything in it was well thought out. breakfast was spot on, i would stay here again.
ventilation in the room wasn't great. we were facing the street and terrace, so we had sounds of pub visitors late into the evening. it was impossible to close the window, as there was no air conditioning.

The minibar fridge in my room didn't work. This was quite inconvenient. the cold tap in the bathroom was broken. I had to use the shower water to get cold water. Both issues were reported, but only the tap got fixed. I did not receive any compensation for these issues.
