Vine, Stafford by the White Feather Group Ltd

excellent stay in my home town; vine brilliant

Positives; Food was good value and well prepared for classic inn/pub food. Hotel is warm & cosy and represents the eclectic charm of an old inn that customers have likely chosen with purpose. Improvement areas: cleaning: large 1ft by 1ft cobweb in the corner of the room implied, along with other dirty/dusty surfaces, a lack of attention to detail on cleaning. Windows with broken latches left unfixed and other similar details create a bit of an unloved feel, albeit it is an old inn & some of this can be considered part of the charm. Was also a bit of an awkward moment when because the till doesn't match the menu pricing that we were told to pay more that the menu price. It was less than a pound difference so not a big deal but it stuck us that the owner could easily resolve that with a note to the kitchen to avoid an awkward conversation. Owner was a pleasant man to talk with though and clearly has a passion for the old inn so hopefully he'll get it ship shape soon enough

Very comfortable stay and at a reasonable price. Rooms were very good and clean and the bed was comfortable. It was also nice and quiet. The bar was not well stocked and the service was rather erratic and slow. Dinner on the Sunday evening ended at 8pm and we were advised to order by 7pm so we ended up eating elsewhere. The breakfast however was very good.

Just a one night stay for a Thursday night fixture, 5 minutes from train station.

We had a great stay, lovely old building, staff were friendly and very welcoming. The only downside was they had ran out of a lot of food on the menu and our bath emptied as quick as it filled but would stay again.

Bedroom very small. Bathroom bigger than bedroom. Plenty of hot water, however the bath plug did not keep yhe water in! Steps to bath room dangerous at night

Room was comfortable and clean, a little dated but this is an old building so expected. Have stayed here before and again we received good service.

Comfortable old English inn with good food and a comfortable bed. The bedrooms are a little tired but that’s to be expected from an old inn. Overall, we were pleased with our stay

Rooms were adequate but access awful.. if you have any mobility problems, and mine are only minor, navigating the narrow twisting staircase was bad with just a single overnight bag.God forbid if you hade a full set of luggage. I'll look elsewhere if I'm in Stafford again
