The new revamp of The Woolpack pub in Emmerdale was unveiled to viewers on Thursday in a special hour-long episode as new owners Charity Dingle and Ryan Stocks had a disastrous opening.
The iconic boozer, which was destroyed in a dramatic explosion at the end of 2021, was previously owned by Chas Dingle and Marlon Dingle.
However, not all viewers were too taken with the new look, with some saying it looked "like a care home".

During Thursday's Emmerdale, Charity and Ryan attempted to have an extravagant opening to unveil the new makeover to the village.
However, things went disastrously wrong due to a low turnout, missing food and an overly loud Bernice Blackstock, which was all documented by a local newspaper reporter.
Yet soap fans were left distracted during the scenes as they were drawn to the new decor in the pub.

And they weren't all best impressed with the new style, with one viewer saying: "Just saw a pic of the new Woolpack interior. That does not look like a village pub. That belongs in Hollyoaks."
Another asked: "What have they done to the #Woolpack ? Yikes ..."
One viewer said the pub was giving the impression of an "old people's home".
One viewer wrote: "Blimey, did the Changing Rooms team decorate the Woolpack? Looks bloody awful!"

Another unimpressed Emmerdale fan said: "Don't like the new look Woolpack, hideous furniture!"
The feedback wasn't all bad though, with some viewers saying they were impressed with the "modern" look.
A different account put: "Loving the new look Woolpack #Emmerdale."
A different viewer put: "@emmerdale I'm loving the new look Woolpack interior #emmerdale."
It comes after Charity star Emma Atkins said of the pub’s new look: “They have sort of gone for a full refurbishment. They have kept the shape and dynamic and style the same, but I have to say it looks incredible, it’s beautiful.”
The actress added: “[It has] velvet upholstery with a vibrant design and it's so cosy. Quite autumnal in colour scheme, I think it will be fantastic.”
