Excellent stay - a really nice big room, spotlessly clean with all the facilities you could need. For me the bed was too firm, but that's my back. Not easy to please! Thank you for a lovely stay.

We were pleased with the breakfast on Sunday morning as we could order off a menu but then the next 2 mornings was only a few small items to pick from. Monday morning there was a person to help out if we needed anything but Tuesday morning there was no one to be found. When I went to pay for the stay (it said to pay at property) I had to leave the money with cleaning staff. Then I get an email that says they charged my card on the first day so they ended up keeping my money and putting a credit on my card. We were frustrated with lack of communication and the idea that no one was there to check you out and take your key was baffling to us. Otherwise everything was fine.

The bathroom needs some TLC. There's a smell in there that wasn't pleasant. The shower cubicle is worn and unsightly. There's mold in the corner of the shower..

A very friendly welcome, family room was clean and tidy and nice & warm. Excellent pub food - definitely worth pre-booking a table as gets very busy. Breakfast was excellent too. Great service, lovely place from which to explore. Would happily stay again!

Will be here all day listing all the good about this pub/hotel. The only gripe i had, was having to go out and buy my own milk in the morning, for coffee and cereal, only a pittance was provided in the communal fridge, i noticed it in the evening before bed, assuming the staff would check and replace for guests in the morning, they did not.

Rooms not great

When arrived with our friends from Canada there was no warm welcome, there is a narrow staircase from the bar area to get to the rooms. We requested a quiet room and were given the rooms directly under the bar, noise till 11.30pm. There was a church across the road and the bells rang until 11.30pm and started again in the early hours of the morning. Had a chat with the manager as we felt we were given the nosiest rooms, she was very blashy and quite rude. The food is nothing to write home about and as for the continental breakfast during weekday is very poor, a small fridge at the bottom of the stirs you get your milk, yogurt and some cakes, in your room you had cereal and tea/coffee. I only booked at this place because my friend like beer and there is a brewery in the village. The company behind these pub's have no hospitality skills and you can see this by the state of the rooms.
