The Green Dragon Public House — Restaurant in England

The Green Dragon has had a complete refurb. The new people have been there for six months and are making sterling efforts to raise standards and offer very stylish accommodation.||However, having had a B&B business for 9 years, I know the most important point of hospitality is to test drive your own rooms.||Our room's shower lacked somewhere for your soap, shampoo, etc. Whilst it looked good, the shower head is fixed - not allowing guests to rinse off those hard to reach arrears and the shower room itself had just a small shelf for toiletries above a small hand basin.||The tap on the basin should really have been to one side as it wasn't possible to rinse your face without getting head butted!||Not all guests are tall. So placement of mirrors should be considered carefully.||The wall art in the shower room is where practical shelves should be for razors, toilet bags, etc.||We were encouraged by one sign to hang our towels to allow them to dry! Had decent sized towel rails been provided (heated would be a bonus) this could have been achieved. One small rail alone and some hooks on the back of the door doesn't cut it.||The main problem, although to be fair it is mentioned on the website, is that they "don't do breakfast."||A small room - "the kitchen" - is provided for guests to make their own breakfasts using the tea, coffee, sliced bread, jams and cereals.||There is nowhere to sit to eat.||Neither were there any chairs or table in our room to sit and eat.||We thought this a lazy approach, especially when a cooked/full English breakfast is part of accommodation culture - and we were in a pub - so it seemed doubly disappointing.||A half way solution would have been a properly laid out buffet breakfast including interesting loaves of bread, yoghurts, cold meats, cheeses, fresh fruit, choice of teas, proper coffee, not a mixture of instants from a tin, decaf alternatives for both, and somewhere to sit and eat it!!||Good points were the spotless bed linen and rooms.||So, with more attention to practicalities and care for their guests' rumbling tummies, the Green Dragon might...

We used this country pub for an overnight stay as we were visiting a car show at Rockingham Raceway. We booked in and was shown up into our room for the night bedroom 3. This is quite small with two single beds and a on- suite toilet and shower room. The shower room had a masserater toilet system with a extraction unit which annoyingly stays on for about 15 minutes after using the bathroom. The breakfast room is along a narrow corridor next to room 4 . Do not book this room as I think it could be noisy early morning with people using these facilities. The breakfast room has everything you need to make drinks and to have a breakfast of cereals and toast . There is only chair in there and to be honest we took ours back to our room. Although from what we were told this property only opened after a refurb in January 2017 the rooms and area we used upstairs had cracked plaster on the walls and ceiling and the paint work was not that good. The bar area and dining area downstairs was deceiving as it looks like they have got three properties and knocked them into a massive area for dining and drinking. Local ales on sale and a very selective menu to choose from. The staff were polite and very helpful . The food pricing was relevant to the area. A nice village to spend time walking around with a lot of history. Car parking is outside on the road and it's park...
