Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereites Personal. Sehr schöne, Zaubere und volleingerichtete Zimmer mit Tee, Kaffee und Mineralwasser. Frühstück ist zwar gut und lecker aber man bekommen nur 1 Kaffee/Person. Wenn wir dazu ein Tee, Saft oder anstatt Kaffee ein Cappuccino möchten, muss man bezahlen.

A fabulously warm welcome, great breakfast and atmosphere. Met here for breakfast with a friend. Good selection from full English down. English mustard, hot plates, lovely strong coffee and very attentive service from Josh. Will definitely return!

We stayed four nights and had breakfast and an evening meal each day. The location was convenient for the day trips we had planned. Our room and en suite bathroom were on the ground floor and were clean, spacious, and comfortable. Just the right mix of quaint and modern! The staff were all very welcoming and friendly! Alex and his partner have owned the place for six months and are very passionate about creating a pleasant atmosphere and exemplary service! Chef Holly and her team are outstanding as the food they prepare and serve is not only mouthwatering but the presentation is lovely as well! Perfect fish and chips, delightful bang bang cauliflower, and delectable meat pies! Great choice of drinks including a very nice pinot grigio. Breakfast is cooked to order, with plenty of choices! Perfect way to start the day! We would highly recommend this outstanding establishment! Keep up the great work!!

I stayed 2 nights and had 4 meals in the pub. Overall, I had a fantastic experience here! I thought the food was surprisingly good, and every staff person was super friendly and pleasant. I thought the old cottage to stay in was incredibly quaint! I had an upstairs room, which was very creaky, so I felt bad for whoever was down on the first floor. There were spots in the floor that felt so soft, and the staircase was very uneven. The windows only opened a little bit so I was happy it wasn't too hot out. If it was hot weather, I may have been miserable. If you book knowing it is an old building, I think you can appreciate the charm!

Impromptu visit to celebrate a driving test pass. It was almost 2pm and rather than being turned away, we were welcomed and - if reasonably swift - given the opportunity to order lunch. We did, and it was excellent. What a difference from some other establishments (not naming them) where an unbooked arrival would have generated indifference at best, and sometimes an attitude bordering on hostility. Definitely not the case here. And in passing, personal view: Guinness Zero is an acceptable alternative to the real thing. Not a permanent replacement, but a decent stand in.
