    Stopped in today after a 300km ride . Wet leathers and cold looking for a cold beer and hot meal. The beer was the only thing that was ok about it. We sat outside as we were wet but the music out the front was so loud we couldn't hear each other talk. We then wanted to buy some hot grub to warm our bones but we're told they were under staffed and kitchen was closed, we then went out the back to the garden bar as it thinned out a bit and right next to us were people eating hot food 5 mins after being declined. I've been to this establishment many times in the past and never had a problem until today. Very poor service on their part today

    Good place to stay! Clean room and facilities, quiet, community kitchen, very nice staff. The rooms are a bit old which is why I find it a bit pricy and which is why it's four not five stars.

    rooms are like in the 70’s… toilets for disabled persons out of order??? really??? it was friday night and if you are going to stay above a bar… yeah it’s loud (my wrong) all in all i guess during the week it’s ok for 1-2 nights

    Had meal in restaurant tonight. Very average. Service was slow, fish was fine ( John Dory not don jory) chips were cold as were those in the meals around me. Not sufficient staff would be my estimation. Won’t be back until it improves.

    Worst hotel I have ever been at. My main issue is that the curtain is too short for the window and across the street there is a very bright Woolworths sign. Cannot get a wink of sleep. Mattresses are uncomfortable, only one blanket despite being in a twin room. Rooms are absolutely cramped. No cups for drinking or any amenities/toiletries for that matter. Good pub, terrible hotel.

  3. Anna Paul ★☆☆☆☆

    Owner has a bad sour attitude will not accommodate to specific people, and purposely discriminating patrons. Turns off the heating in restaurant to get you outside in the cold, the temp was -4 degrees. The bar staff and security are all very friendly. Dont bother responding your behaviour is consistent on every visit.

  2. Roger Brown ★★★★☆

    Always good for a good 'pub meal' experience . Good menu, food so far has not disappointed. Good welcoming staff who seem to be able to handle a big table with ease. Well worth your support I have to say .

    I recently visited the Horse and Jockey Inn, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a charming ambiance. The Room was cosy, which immediately made me feel at home. The food was exceptional! The menu had a great variety of dishes. The service was excellent, and the staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and ensure that I enjoyed my experience. The friendly demeanor made me feel like a valued guest. Overall, I highly recommend the Horse and Jockey Inn for anyone looking for a fantastic experience. The food, service, and ambiance all exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be returning soon.

    Truly the worst night’s sleep I’ve had and I’ve slept in collapsed tents at muddy raining festivals! If it’s not the noise of the pub and other local bars or depot it’s the AC unit or other tapping. The room is either too hot (even with the windows open) or too cold (with the fan on). No tv in the room. Upon arrival the staff didn’t explain how the keys worked, where my room was. When I asked about food they said the kitchen had closed early and the bar would also be shutting soon (it transpired the bar closed an hour later, despite being earlier than advertised) and any questions to the staff were met with frightened rabbit expressions. There weren’t any obvious tea or coffee making facilities, no complimentary toiletries provided (other than the ones dumped in the men’s communal shower left by previous guests). The bedroom also looked like a wild animal had been let loose in there and the beds were so uncomfortable. Surprised bedding and towels were provided. I stayed here considering it had recent good reviews and I rarely leave negative reviews but this place was a shambles. When I went out for food (I was told a takeaway would have to do) I found lots of local bars still open and serving so went there and then couldn’t initially get back in. Another guest just happened to be returning at the same time as me and said that the code for the door was on my keys (again, not explained to me). We both enquired if we could have a night cap as we were guests, again frightened rabbit expressions from the two staff and they said they’d closer to the last customers 30 minutes ago. Ironically I’d have given the place more money if I wasn’t told the bar was shutting and would have probably got a takeout if that was the case. Seriously, avoid this place. Needs serious retraining and revamping. Don’t let it ruin your trip or visit to hobbiton.
