Cosy clean and tidy. Good to be back in Stow Maries. Food was excellent. Lovely bathroom and hot shower.
Got off to a poor start with cold room when heating wasn't working. Also only had one bedside light.
Once both were fixed things improved considerably.

Staff were great, good food and drinks.
Room was clean and comfy if a little noisy before everyone drinking outside went home.
Thick black mould on the shower hose, I cleaned it off myself, not nice.
Also black mould in the sealant around the bath and screen, again not very nice when having a bath.

Bar and waitressing staff were great, really helpful and friendly. No idea about the management staff, no sign of them despite receiving a message that the general manager would speak to us about all the problems with our stay. Room was clean and comfortable. Food good.
Communication terrible - no response to two messages sent via Booking.com before our stay, phone number on Booking.com site got through to the owner who was on holiday and gave me a different number to call to speak to the pub. We were not made aware that breakfast is only served Friday-Sunday on the webpage or when we booked. These matters need to be clarified on the Booking.com site.
Allocated table 5 when we finally managed to book a table for dinner, which is no more than a raised bench, certainly not adequate for 4 people. Then told we could not run up a tab to pay on departure (although this was rectified when we asked to speak to whoever was in charge that night).
No one made up our room after the first night, so we had to ask at the bar for milk, toilet paper and water for our second night’s stay.
We were told the general manager would be in on the Sunday, and would speak to us about all these issues. We gather she was there, but did not introduce herself to us, and we were never able to provide feedback to her direct (hence this lengthy list of unresolved concerns).
Found out by accident that there would be no one there when we left on the Monday morning. So we settled our tab on the Sunday night and left keys in the doors of our rooms.
Finally, without going into too much detail, a GDPR breach occurred when a member of staff provided my name to a third party before arrival, without even checking the name of who was calling.
Sorry - a lot of issues. Mostly related to communication and management. We wanted to love this pub, but were let down on too many counts.
