John, United Kingdom

The room was large and clean. It was ideally placed for the venue I attended.

Caron, United Kingdom

very quiet pub not open during the day, and closed very early in the evening as not a lot of customers around only locals using the bar in the week Sunday lunch seemed to fill up the place more, but didn't eat there as breakfast was offered to me a few miles away in a a Cafe very helpful in information and assisted me when i lost my wallet. seemed the community rallied around and it turned up thankfully as two little children picked it up in the car park and took it home. which was awesome and thankful to them for finding and contacting me

Raymond, South Africa

Location was fine, room was good. Very straightforward. Nice pub.

Joe, Ireland

Perfect location for the event I attended. Quiet but lively public house/inn with excellent accommodation. Food superb. Had the garlic an chilli tiger prawns as starter and a main of fish and chips. Letter sounds 'ordinary', but almost certainly the very best battered cod, double fried chips and mushy peas ever. Staff always welcoming and friendly.

Inconsistencies. Pub or Guest house ? As resident would expect access to bar and food for most of our stay. This didn't happen. Bar shut. Access to rooms through back door and steps a little inconvenient.
location ideal for us. comfortable, clean etc. no problems
