Trevor United Kingdom

Good size, clean and tidy room, nice bathroom with powerful shower, great food in the restaurant, ample parking, friendly staff.

John United Kingdom

Room was very clean and comfortable although being in the annex it didn't have much of a view as the annex is across from the main pub and the access to it is through the archway access to the car park at the back. However it is an old place and not all rooms will have views. We were satisfied with our room.

Susan United Kingdom

Friendly family run pub, very helpful, lovely food and hope to return next year

Karen United Kingdom

No complaints and a very friendly service. Great fresh food.
