Rooms & Amenities

The Dark Horse Pub offers three self-contained rooms above the pub on Church Road. Each room includes a seating area with a flat-screen TV, a desk, a terrace, and a private bathroom. Rooms are equipped with ironing facilities, heating, free toiletries, an electric kettle, and parquet flooring. St George's Park is a 2-minute walk away.

Both are available for private hire, including birthday parties, comedy nights, and live music. The rooftop terrace also hosts summer DJ events.

This hotel is a gem! The rooms are cozy and come with a lovely patio; however, the shower could be improved. The service is exceptional, and they even offer pet amenities, which is a huge plus. The location is superb, close to the city center and near a park, making it convenient for exploring. The dining experience, although offering English muffins, falls a bit short. The facilities are great, but prices could be more competitive.
