Shown to our room the stairs needed cleaning. The floor in our room needed hoovering. The bathroom had black Mold on the shower hose and on the wall. The fan didn’t work as didn’t the heated towel warmer. The towels were well worn and only had 2 towels no hand towel. There was no food available apart from a pizza van outside. Breakfast was poor full English was 1 sausage 1rasher of bacon a hash brown mushroom and half a tomato. My wife had scrambled egg on toast with 1 rasher of bacon. There was toast as well. Would not stay there again

Lovely homely welcoming Inn

We checked in to this beautiful old inn, and were greeted by owner Johnathan, we were shown to our room and told if we needed anything just ask. Being the winter the kitchen is closed Monday and Tuesday which Johnathan apologised for, we replied it’s absoulutly fine. He told us of the local Chinese just up the road and said please feel free to bring it back to our room to eat, which we did. Excellent Chinese takeaway. We slept like logs and woke to have full breakfast that Jonathan cooked which was lovely fresh and hot. Will be booking again without a doubt.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Didn't get to sleep til late as there was a private function but this isn't anybody's fault we were staying in a pub and expected noise. The room was lovely, very nice coffee! The staff were friendly and polite. No real parking available but we managed to find a space fairly close by. The kids loved the room and we would definitely stay again.

A quaint friendly little local pub with B&B, the en suite room was clean and comfortable with a view over the front of the pub and village. There was not much space for parking, and they didn’t cater much if you have a gluten free diet, but tried their best to accommodate , overall a very nice stay, would definitely return and recommend
