Gem of a pub and B&B

What a lovely village pub. The staff were really friendly and breakfast was excellent. The room was a little tired and a little small, but good value for money. Would certainly visit again.

A beautiful pub with stunning garden and setting, great food and beer selection. Staff are really helpful and attentive. Rooms are a little old but still very comfy and have everything you need. I stayed for business in the area but a great place for a holiday stop as well!

Charming Place

A very lovely pub in a picturesque village. Spacious rooms, friendly staff, very good food and a broad selection of wines and beers. I arrived just in time for the last dinner order, thankfully. Breakfast was included in my stay and was also very nice. The pub is very homely, warmly lit and has a classic village inn feel. The bathroom in my room could probably benefit from a slight cosmetic improvement but that is a minor point on what was overall a pleasant but brief stay.

Amazing Experience Thanks to Thea and Great Food

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable, and the service was absolutely amazing. Thea was fantastic and really made the experience special. The food was great, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The personal touch throughout the stay was a breath of fresh air.

The inn is adorable, if remote. Taxis from the train station are a bit tricky to get and expensive. Staff was fantastic and a lot of fun. Breakfast is great. Main issue is that my room absolutely reeked of tobacco. My "non smoking room" was definitely a smoking room at some point. I choked from the moment I arrived. After 48 hours all of my clothes smell horrible and I have to be in the UK for work for another three days. I could leave the windows open, but giant spiders were coming in. No other source of ventilation. The property desperately needs to re-do the carpet, wall paper, everything. I hate leaving this review because the place is otherwise charming and this inn seemed much better than the nearby hotels my friends were staying in. But until this problem is fixed, avoid the "Teddy" room. I'm going to be searching for febreeze. The other issue is that every time I tried to order food that wasn't breakfast, I was told the kitchen was too busy. There are no other food options for miles. So bring some snacks - I wish I did! It's doubly disappointing because the food on the website looks absolutely fantastic.

We only stayed one night in a double room with en-suite in Hattie’s House which is a building across the car park and had a wonderful evening meal in the pub itself.The interior of the pub was exceptionally warm and inviting. The breakfast was good also.
