    Friendly and welcoming staff for whom nothing was too much trouble, particularly with my late arrival. A charming old building with really good facilities.

    The quirky, quaint charming characteristics of this little gem. A very warm welcoming staff and the feeling that you are staying at your eccentric Aunty's house. Will definitely return again. Thank you!

    Nice room but spoilt by the bathroom

    • Deluxe Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    We were in room 1. The bathroom was very poor with the shower over an old enamel bath, chipped in several places, which was very slippy and quite dangerous. The shower water temperature varied a lot during the shower going from hot to cold and back to hot again. They should change this set up to a walk in shower, with no bath, and fix the water temperature problem. They don't take American Express too.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was nice too ( see comment below re bathroom though). The breakfast was very nice

    Shower pulsating between hot and cold in room 1. Waiting over 20 minutes for full English which arrived with Luke warm beans cold mushrooms and a sausage that was reheated and Luke warm.

    Rustic country pub, with charm in bucket loads.

    Good place to eat or enjoy a country pub.

    • Superior King Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The room was advertised as a superior king room but did not live up to expectations or photographs on website. There was broken mirrored furniture, a broken bedstead and chipped enamel on the bath. It was hard to sleep due to the noise from a fan and busy road. This was a shame as the pub, staff and food were excellent. Avoid room 3 - other rooms looked better.

    The food at both dinner and breakfast was excellent and a cut above usual pub food. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The country pub and garden were lovely.

    Background noise hampered my sleep - something electrical and automated - refrigeration or heating maybe or the very big extraction unit on the outside of the building. Bliss when it stopped.

    Pleasing decor and ambience throughout. Clean room and bedding, comfortable bed, nice bathroom, plenty of towels, friendly, welcoming and helpful staff, delicious food and good size portions.

    Wifi

    The wifi was terrible, which was problematic and I had planned to work in the evenings. I don't think it was clear on the booking that this would be the case. Everything else was lovely, although you do get noise from the bar downstairs.

    Nothing major, small things that need attention. Could have done with kettle in room rather than use water from coffee machine as it wasn't hot enough for tea. Bed base needs securing, one hook broken. Bathroom could do with overhaul/good clean. Bath had marks/breaks, toilet very stained and dirty plus loo brush dirty. Shower was powerful but fluctuated in temperature. Some noise from downstairs, but this didn't affect us too much as a Sunday.

    Nice quirky place. Good food. Staff lovely. Slept well. Free parking. Good walks around area. We would stay again.

    It’s a shame, and I know things are hard for hospitality industry but the rooms are a little tired. The decor in our room didn’t really suit the lovely beams and the bathroom could’ve done with a little maintenance. I don’t like giving a poor review but I feel I have to be a bit honest. But the staff more than made up for those small little niggles 100%.

    The staff were fantastic, especially the lady at breakfast. The pub itself is really warm and cozy.Also breakfast was delicious and as much hot tea and orange juice as you could want for!

    I can not think of anything I didn't like. We had just got of a ten hour flight and booked last minute

    Just motorway quiet area staff were very welcoming good choice of drinks in the bar and excellent menu although we didn't have dinner. Our room was clean and comfortable we had good night's sleep.Breakfast was excellent plenty of choice and very good produce. We both had full English and very good coffee orange juice .

    Some noise and light from outside at night. Odd breakfast menu, with cereal/yoghurt/fruit listed as alternatives to a cooked breakfast rather supplementary to it (though staff we happy to adapt when asked).

    Friendly, characterful old pub in attractive country on outskirts of Great Missenden. Comfortable well-equipped room, but beware low ceilings! Good dinner and decent breakfast.

    Room needs a bit of DIY and outlook onto backyard a bit grotty The elaborate coffee machine seems so unnecessary. Couldn't work the bedroom one and the one in the bar makes half a cup and very quickly cold. A cafetière seems so much better.

    Great friendly young staff. Good meal. Nice relaxed atmosphere
