We had a great stay at The Ferry Boat Inn. Cosy pub and comfortable rooms. Limited menu but good food. Great location and lovely walks from the pub including around the local nature reserve. Highly recommended!

Absolutely stunning Amazing place, comfortable beds, underfloor heating in a good sized shower room, breakfast was very tasty and staff very welcoming. Self check in on Monday was very easy thanks to clear instructions. Will come back again.

Fantastic I was really surprised by this accommodation. It looked brand new. It did say recently refurbished, but it was exactly that. I arrived very late at 11pm but they had left me a continental breakfast as I had to leave at 7:30am the next day. I thought this was really helpful. The location was really quiet and I reckon lovely during the summer being so close to the river and the boats. I would have no hesitation staying here again.

Visited for lunch today. Staff very pleasant and attentive. Very clean premises in a lovely surrounding. Menu is compact, but suitable for most and they list allergens. Food is very nice and well cooked and presented. But for us, very disappointed not to be able to pay the bill by cash, YET, tips are accepted by cash! As luck would have it I had a card to pay today but normally don’t. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t got my card? CASH IS LEGAL TENDER. We probably won’t return for this reason as we prefer to pay for things with cash. So may I apologise to the lovely waiting staff who served us today that as a principal, if you won’t take my cash for the bill, I found it untenable to tip by cash.

Fantastic all round pub Great staff with Brodie being very attentive and friendly Rooms are pleasant and very clean. Food was excellent especially sea bass meal and eggs Benedict for breakfast! Only one gripe - the slight buzz from the external boiler was a little annoying in the first rooms

We really enjoyed our first visit to the Ferry Boat Inn. The staff were attentive and welcoming, the room was comfortable, and the food was interesting and well prepared - generous portions too! A very nice, relaxed atmosphere, plenty of parking space and space to sit both inside and out, and lovely surroundings close to the estuary.

beautiful setting , very comfortable bed, friendly staff. we were slightly disappointed by the lack of local produce on the menu , it would have been lovely to have some of the local wines , and lack of choice at breakfast , some fruit/ yogurt would have been nice, but otherwise a lovely stay
