Innkeeper's Lodge Rugby, Dunchurch

The room was spacious and bright, with a good bed and a modern, well-fitted bathroom. It was great having an operating restaurant downstairs, with excellent food and service. The staff were welcoming, helpful and clearly well trained, and they seemed to care about guests. Free parking was another real plus, since parking in England can be such a rip-off. I don’t have any real complaints. It would be useful to have more cupboard and hanging space for stays longer than one night. Also, the windows seemed painted shut and weren’t easy to open, so fresh air was hard to get.

Nothing fancy, just a good, honest and welcoming Inn, and great value for money. The room was very clean and comfortable, with everything working and plenty of tea and coffee. The restaurant was nice, with table service and lovely staff. The food was about what you’d expect at this price. Breakfast was good, with lots of choice, though we had the traditional full English.

The pub looks lovely and sits in a lovely village, so I hope they can sort out the problems. Our experience wasn’t great: the food was either undercooked or overcooked, and although the accommodation was nice, the beds were quite hard.

The breakfast area was rather small for making drinks, and there weren’t enough tea cups. Our room radiator stayed on full for the whole stay. A young woman said she’d turn off the boilers, but that didn’t fix it. The window in Room 7 only opened partway, so we slept on the bed without covers. Check-in was easy and the staff were very friendly. The bar area was lovely, with a good range of drinks, and breakfast itself was lovely.
