The staff were really friendly too. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick Sep 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice country pub with separate accomodation in rear garden area. Very cute, clean and tidy. Just the job 👍 ##### Nick Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Graham Oct 10, 2023 Premium price but an average experience. Location is its high point. ##### Graham Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Jul 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overnight stop Friendly and welcoming proprietor. Comfortable, spacious room although a couple of maintenance issues. Well presented and prepared food. Lovely location and building. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Margaret Sep 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Pub is quaint. Breakfast is good. Bed was comfortable. Room was sparsely decorated and the floor wasn’t clean. Came back after dark and there were no lights on to find our way back to the room. Felt it was a lot of money for we got. ##### Margaret Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean May 30, 2024 The accommodation was really very nice, clean and comfortable. My only comment was the breakfast first morning ok but the second morning they had run out if 2 of the cereal choices and also Hash browns. The staff were lovely but I must say I was disappointed that morning as we were leaving to go home and we were unable to enjoy the breakfast that should have been available. ##### Jean Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Trish May 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is in the same grounds of the very cosy traditional pub. Staff really nice and friendly. Our room was in a quiet corner. Spotlessly clean but it was very bland. Very high ceiling with grey walks and plain white duvet It would have been more welcoming with a colourful throw on the bed, perhaps a picture on the wall something to soften it. Other than that (hopefully constructed criticism) it was a nice place to stay and we would go again. ##### Trish Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ian May 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Disliked: Staff & service Good, spacious and clean rooms, comfy beds. Ceiling lights were either one third on, fully on, or flashing continuously (Room 6, reported back to the staff). Food was generally good but the service both at dinner and breakfast was INCREDIBLY slow to the point of annoyance. Additional staff are needed front and back of house. And what pickled red cabbage is doing in a Thai green curry I have no idea… certainly different. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### John Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely location and staff were friendly and helpful.
