    Really lovely old pub. The rooms are in the barn just next door & our room was a really good size with everything you would need. The food was delicious, we had dinner and breakfast.

    This was a great location and place to stay close by to where we were working. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was perfect. We had a delicious supper in the pub choosing from a really nice menu and a cheeky bottle of wine from the wine list!

    Breakfast felt a little limited but was good value for money. The rooms can be a little noisy in terms of hearing other guests but nothing horrendous.

    The rooms are spacious with good amenities and the pub is lovely

    Room was quite dark, cafetiere was dirty and needed replacing, teapot cracked so leaked everywhere. Sign in room suggests fresh milk available throughout your stay but if the bar is shut there is only a phone number for emergencies. Bedsheets very stiff and noisy.

    Room tidy and modern, located in a quaint and quiet village, nice to have fresh coffee grounds in the room. Fantastic food and lovely atmosphere in the bar, waiting staff exceptional.

    Only minor.. WiFi wasn’t great in the room and the dining room lighting was quite bright. Pub didn’t open until 6 which was fine for us but good to know if you’re planning on getting there earlier and wanting to go to the bar.

    Lovely pub in the middle of nowhere with good rooms and great restaurant. Rooms were beautifully furnished.. in a separate barn to the pub. Lovely toiletries and biscuits in the room. Food was really good..sat by the fire beforehand with a glass of vino. Plenty of parking. Breakfast next day was good. Would definitely go back.

    Maybe the pillows need renewing. Very minor criticism, scrabbling around for something here!

    Lovely old pub in a lovely part of the country. A warm welcome, good food and service, and comfortable spacious modern rooms in separate quiet part of building. Everything was already thought of before you asked. Just wonderful.

    Only thing I would have liked is somewhere to put suitcase rather than floor. Minor thing but back not great.

    Absolutely brilliant Pub with gorgeous rooms. Bed really comfortable, great facilities like a cafetiere not instant and a bottle of milk supplied. Very peaceful and great food. Had no expectations so was very pleasantly surprised and happy. Lovely welcome from staff and fully informed me of extra facilities that were available on request like and iron and ironing board.
