While many guests are impressed with the standard of the rooms at this property, some reviews highlight a few issues. Several guests comment that the beds were on the small side and others mention that they found their room a little too hot.
A number of guests report feeling less than impressed with the standard of the Wi-Fi, with some commenting that the signal strength in the rooms was very poor.
While no-one would probably go so far as to call the Fat Lamb a rowdy pub, some guests do mention that they were able to hear some noise from the bar inside their room. Only those rooms near to the bar are affected.
