We went to Cooling for a family wedding my sister and husband stayed here too the whole place was old and wonderful , the breakfast was amazing proper sausages too. As for the staff nothing was too much they were wonderful from the moment we stepped into the place to the moment we left, especially the young girl serving the breakfast paid attention to every detail as they say in four in a bed we will definitely be back . Thank you all the staff

Owners were very pleasant, even though we missed breakfast they accommodated us with a sausage sandwich and a coffee.

Loved the age and the fact it was a genuine old pub with a landlord owner and a local population

Large fluffy towels and slippers. Nice quality complimentary toiletries. Good breakfast. I had the smoked salmon and I must have had a whole packet.

Beautiful rural location with care taken to keep safe. Very good dinner and breakfast. Friendly owner and staff, very helpful with my early start. Very much appreciated.

Iron in the room, the pub, the building with rooms at the backyard and the backyard, cosy corner.

The owner was excellent and the staff including the chef could not do enough to make or stay really good

Really liked the friendly staff. Nice and relaxing atmosphere in pub. Room comfortable, nice bed! Breakfast was superb. Would stay here again!

Very lovely old Pup, clean room and amazing breakfast. Staff very friendly, lovely location

The location of this property is wonderful for walking, cycling and at the same time, for getting away from it all. You are surrounded by history. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful and want to make your stay enjoyable. They care and it shows. Comfortable room and the food is excellent. We went for my husbands birthday and had a lovely time.
