The Hollybush Inn and B&B

It’s no wonder not many locals visit this pub which is a shame as it’s the only one in Priors Marston. Downstairs is drab and a bit grimy, note the dirty glasses in the bar, with no atmosphere and a huge TV blocking the light out in one of the window in whatever the other room is called. Upstairs, after walking up a dirty staircase it’s like a rabbit warren with shelves with toilet rolls on a microwave halfway along the corridor where I presume you can make a drink. The room I stayed in had a comfortable bed, no wardrobe just coat hangers to hang your clothes on a hook at the back of the door! Shower looked good from a distance but dirty door at the bottom, dripping tap that was loose and lots of dust in various places. Breakfast was abysmal. Cheap bread,croissants, cheap jam and a kettle and coffee machine on a rather dodgy looking shelf other things on a windowsill. Nobody around at all and a, find your own way out as pub door locked.The landlord needs to sort himself out or I can see this place will be in the market soon. The pub needs a full upgrade and it’s such a shame as it could be a goldmine if updated as it’s in such a lovely village.

We stayed for one night in December with our puppy Dottie, the staff were friendly and very accommodating. Dottie was made very welcome. We had a Chinese take away from the attached restaurant which was fantastic.The breakfast is only continental but was perfectly fine. We will definitely stay here again
