AI Summary
The staff's warmth and friendliness, along with high-quality food and convenient location near local attractions and Monkey World, make it highly recommended. However, there is no significant downside mentioned.

All we could wish for
We arrived in the evening after a family birthday party. We were given a warm welcome, ate a good dinner and slept in comfort.

An absolute gem
We thoroughly enjoyed our last minute stay here with our doggies. I cannot fault a thing, the apartment we stayed in was very generously sized and had everything we needed. All of the staff were welcoming and helpful. We stayed for dinner one evening and there was a wonderful atmosphere and our food was delicious, highly recommend the Milk Tart as a sweet treat to finish off the meal. This is a wonderful gem in a gorgeous setting, and we will definitely return.

We arrived to a warm welcome and lovely room at The Talbot. This is an excellent hotel accommodation choice if you're cycle touring. The food was excellent and they went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Our bikes were secure too. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Had a lovely experience the food was incredible, and the staff where lovely will definitely be coming back. The chef even came out and asked how our food was, and was lovely and chatty. I had cheesy chips which had grilled cheese on top and was delicious. It was great value for money as well

This pub is under new management with delicious food and a great atmosphere. Dogs welcome. It's a family run pub with great service and a pool table and a roaring fire on a rainy evening. We went on Friday night which is Burger night. The burgers are homemade and very yummy. Highly recommend. We will be back very soon!

Went fur a family dinner and birthday celebration. Without doubt the best burger we have had in months. Local meats, full of flavour. All delivered with friendly service, good beer and good atmosphere. A very pleasant evening and will definitely return. New owners are introducing different food ideas, which is really appreciated and good to try.
