5 star review all round definitely worth the stay
Simon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The pub's in a very quiet place and the bed was comfortable. The food is also good - we had dinner and breakfast. It's a charming place but there is a lack of attention to detail, eg, the hot taps in the toilets off the dining room did not work, we were not offered a separate plate or knife with our toast, the shower head badly needed descaling, the room decor and furniture appeared tired and worn in places. At this price point, we expected better. A good place to dine but not stay at the moment.

Gem of a country pub

Rooms were very nicely made up & comfortable. Food was excellent & staff even better. Bit of a gem of a country pub in my opinion, would happily stay again.

The relaxed and informal approach by staff did not detract from the quality and standard of our stay.

Great hotel and pub

Brilliant location, nice room, small but had everything, great breakfast and friendly staff. The only thing I can think of that wasn’t perfect was the fact I couldn’t seem to turn the outside light off but other than that it was brilliant. Will be back

I was so impressed with the friendliness of the staff so helpful and polite. It seemed to me that nothing was too much trouble. That staff friendliness was so important to me and made my stay so good
