Cock Hotel

I stayed here on business, so unfortunately didn't get much chance to explore the town itself, but the location was great. Room 22 was right on the courtyard, and on both the Friday and Saturday night there was loud live (or live-sounding) music plus people drinking right outside the window until late. It wasn't a huge issue in itself, it's a pub after all, but I wish this had been flagged at booking or check-in - as I had very early starts both days. The room itself was very tired. The bedroom was fine-ish, but the bathroom flooring was peeling and uneven, and — worst of all — there was pubic hair left in the bath along with hair on the sink and taps from previous guests or cleaning staff. I mentioned this to staff at the time but nothing really came of it, which was disappointing. A disappointing stay, mainly let down by cleanliness and room condition.

We booked this hotel as we were attending my father's brother's wake, my uncles as you can imagine this was a very sad occasion which was held in the conservative club almost opposite the hotel. When we arrived we just dropped our cases and went straight to the conservative club, we were late due to horrendous traffic on the M1. When we left the wake, a very sad occasion that we shared with all our family, we said our goodbyes and walked across to the hotel, my husband settled my father in his room, when he came back, it sounded like a disco party, banging base that went on until midnight, we were not made aware that there would be super loud music 8 meters from our room!! On to the room , it was shabby with lino on the bathroom floor that was like a roller coaster ride, the area around the base of the handbasin was gray and grimey, disgusting, thank goodness we had been at a wake and had plenty of tissues as there was no toilet paper! The lampshade on my side of the bed was broken at at a funny angle, the toilet seat was loose and broken. The toilet bowl was black, disgusting . Breakfast, I stupidly ordered a full English breakfast, my father and husband went for the continental option with no problems, my full English was horrible, the sausage skins were so tough I couldn't cut trough them, my first attempt almost knocked my tiny egg from the plate, all in all a disaster and we will never return! £204.50p for 2 rooms including breakfast, we assume the nerve jarring bass banging music was free.

Prime location to explore stony Stratford excellent parking. Wonderful atmosphere staff making it a wonderful atmosphere particularly Penny and Christine. Hotel room was clean spacious and comfortable. Very good value for money. Food and drinks wonderful catering for our food intolerance without any stress Looking forward to visiting again
