Homely big open fire, wonderful staff very accommodating on arrival & during the evening & @ morning after. Room was spotlessly clean. Great selection of teas, coffees & hot chocolate, with biscuits & a special little treat, but not going to spoil it, put it this way, the hubby enjoyed it most 😉

Louise United Kingdom

Great location, excellent rooms, an extensive range of beers and good food. Add in good service from friendly staff and what more could you want. Our third visit to this pub and the standards remain high. This place is one of our favourites.

Jim United Kingdom

Stayed for 2 nights as a base for walking. Perfect for this - nothing like recovering with a pint of Boltmaker in front of an open fire on a freezing cold day. Ate in one night - food excellent. Very friendly staff.

Stayed with friends. The pub was very well run. The staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

  • I see it is £10 extra for a dog. Is this per stay or per night please? Thank you. Which dog-friendly double bedroom has the walk-in shower please?

    The £10 charge is for extra the extra cleaning as we like our dog friendly rooms to be as perfect as the others so it’s a one off charge. Room 11 is the dog friendly room with a walk in shower.
