4/10
Room-only for one night. Check-in was friendly and helpful, and it was good to see that the rooms were in a separate building to the pub, with plenty of parking. The room was basic and a little tired but spacious and quiet enough. The double bed was comfortable and the towels were nice and thick, but what let the whole experience down was a lack of the most basic requirement of any overnight accommodation: cleanliness. There were jet black hairs in the bath, sink and toilet, as well as the tops of skirting boards. The bathroom air vent had not been wiped in ages (obvious to a tall guest), the toilet had not been descaled, and even the chrome taps had not been polished with a towel, which takes just seconds to do. I normally leave good reviews and don't like to look for negatives, but in this case, I cannot recommend the Lobster Pot as cleanliness is the most basic and easy-to-meet requirement of any hotel stay.
And one other thing that is most bizarre - the only hanging rail in the room has a shelf unit so close underneath it that even a shirt or blouse has to be draped over the front of the shelving, let alone a dress or suit ...somebody wasn't thinking when they positioned those units one over the other - they were clearly designed to go in separate places!
