    The options and choices for breakfast should have been explained . It would have been nice to have tea or coffee offered and brought to the table rather than serving yourself to coffee ( which incidentally was rubbish). The breakfast room wasn't busy, it would have been so much nicer to have proper coffee made and brought to the table rather than Cona coffee left to stew. Our room was lovely, but quite awkward for me to bring luggage from the car and up the outside stairs to our room by myself ( my husband walks wth a stick - so I have to manage the luggage ).

    Fine, met our needs just right and the staff were friendly.

    There were several minor points of maintenance that needed attention. Peeling paint in the bathroom A shower head that fired water across the room to reach the other side and dripped on the floor A leaky valve on the toilet A sticking light switch in the bathroom. A blown lightbulb in the room itself.

    Location, the building itself and the room were up to scratch. I can't fault the level of comfort that the rooms offer, quiet, enough space without being especially spacious and a perfect location on the main road but far enough away to avoid traffic noise. Parking was very convenient. We didn't partake in breakfast or an evening meal.

    Putting the band in such a small space - poor bar staff couldn't hear to take orders and we had to eat in restaurant as too loud. No Greek yoghurt at breakfast despite being on menu and bread etc wasn't topped up so had to ask for a lot of the continental breakfast.

    Friendly staff, comfy bed, large sofa and decent black out curtains! Excellent food in evening and a varied menu. Good location, short walk to town and decent independant shops.

    Had a ground floor room, upstairs was quite noisy. Would recommend an upstairs room in the courtyard area.

    Very comfortable courtyard room, nice bar and restaurant with good food. Good outdoor gardens for when the sun comes out.

    Bath / shower surface

    Good location of room, even if it was rather tired around the edges. A let-down was how slippery the bath / shower base was - it come have done with some good non slip treatment.

    Unfortunately, the entrance into the room corner area was in dire need of a good clean. There was quite a lot of rubbish around. But it was just that corner, so I think it was probably due to the bad we've had

    Lovely greeting on arrival. Lovely big parking facilities. The room was really nice, I was a bit cold, but very comfortable. We are I the restaurant, which was very good. Breakfast was also good. All the staff were excellent. I will definitely be staying again.

    The only downside I can tell is the small amount of light in the rooms, due to the small windows, so the rooms are quite dark. Also the wifi was not so stable, mostly had to manually reconnect after leaving property.

    Very lovely experience with pub dining and stay. Breakfast was very good and dining in the restaurant was great as well. Good room too. Great atmosphere in the pub. Very good dishes and good value for money. Super friendly staff.

    The shower and lack of toiletry selection. The courtyard could do with a bit of a tidy up.

    The room was very good, overlooking the little river that flowed by, although the toiletries were minimal (one shower gel tube for all washing including handsoap) and the shower size was reduced by a curtain. Breakfast was adequate and dinner (not included in price) was good. Bar prices were very good. Dog facilities were very good and our dogs were welcomd by staff and fellow guests
