The main drawback for us was the light coming through the window at night. There was a streetlight right outside our room, and the curtains didn’t block it at all, so it felt like sleeping with the light on. We also could have used more milk each day: there were plenty of coffee and tea bags, but only enough milk for two drinks. With no fridge or way to get fresh milk on site, that was disappointing. Glasses for the water would have been handy too. Even with those issues, we’d definitely stay again and recommend the place. It’s fabulous value for money, the food is fantastic, and the pub and staff are friendly and helpful. Our rooms, 7 & 1, were lovely, with modern furnishings, tasteful decor, and gorgeous bathrooms. The heating was adequate, the bathroom radiator worked well, the towels were fluffy and spotless, and the shower was hot and good enough. We stayed at Carlton Tavern to be near relatives, and the location was perfect for us. It’s very close to Euston for our travel plans, with two stops on the lioness line, which runs every couple of minutes. Booking was easy, as were the entry instructions. The rooms are behind the pub, up private steps and away from the main road.
