This has been by far the best service. food. Room and staff and management that I have experienced . I have stayed in over many trips to various hotels but the servi,e and staff was far above the three stars they have. The best country pub to stay in. We loved it and recommend to highly. Thank you Alex 😇

Easy to get to. Great brekkie for those who are not vegan. On arrival, had a spot of lunch. Would be nice to have more vegan options that didn't involve curry spices.

Photos are very misleading, the room was dated, dark and dingy, down corridors and upstairs. The walls showed evidence of damp and stains, gave me Fred and Rose West vibes. Taken photos as proof! It all felt really grubby. Breakfast not served until 8:00 had to leave for the airport by 6:00, was told that the chef might be able to provide a breakfast box but heard nothing more about it. Absolutely no phone signal and couldn't pick up WiFi. No instructions for what to do when leaving so had to leave the key in my room. Wouldn't recommend or think about staying again.

We had a brief 2 nights stay here with 2 dogs. Really couldn't fault anything. The room was lovely, warm and comfortable. Our meal in the restaurant was yummy and because we had to go early, the breakfast bags they provided were great. Hopefully back again next year.

Food was excellent, pub was nice, breakfast was nice. Room was nice and comfortable but bathroom let it down, toilet had not been flushed and was full of toilet paper, cold shower would not heat up tried everything and then basin in shower was blocked and filled with water quickly. Still a lovely old pub

Very nice location, great customer service, choice for B'fast & clean. The property needs big improvements as it can be very hot in summer days! fan was supplied but didn't help much, we had ground floor room couldn't leave the curtains & window open as no net to keep flies away and to have privacy as can see people traffic outside your room window. Lovely surroundings to have picnic.

Average facilities, carpet was not cleaned and the shower tray had mould all around and smelled of mould, the shower tray had dark grease type stuff and so we did not use the shower.
