Joe United Kingdom

Great room, very comfortable. Really good food and drink. Breakfast lovely.

Keith United Kingdom

The Strawbury Duck is brilliant, amazing price for such a lovely pub! The breakfast included was fab and we also ate there one evening, the food was delicious and big portions. Great selection of vegetarian and vegan food. The staff were all really friendly and accommodating. Rooms are clean with everything you need and the bed was so comfy! We attended a wedding at the nearby Wellbeing Farm and the Strawbury Duck is only a few minutes car drive away. Even though we visited over a busy bank holiday there was still space for us to park in the car park at the pub. Looks like there are some beautiful walks nearby too, would love to visit again!
