If you want a cosy country pub with a log fire this is the place, the atmosphere was great along with the food and lovely room. I couldn’t fault it, and has now set the bar high for my next country pub adventure.

A Great pub. Caution if you wish to use the dine on a Wednesday and get your 20% off as you apparently need to pay on the night it can not be added to your room.. Costly error!

Lovely traditional pub

A few bits we were unhappy with and could easily be improved. Firstly the only toast offered at breakfast was sourdough, which was hard and really difficult to cut. We werent the only customers to comment on this. The bins and full ashtray we walked past when going into our room wasn't very nice to see. Privacy was a bit of an issue with a few chairs directly outside our bedroom window and staff members having a break there. I must say the staff were really welcoming and helpful. But would rather not have to pull my curtains to maintain our privacy. We did mention this when we checked out and was told the staff have to go somewhere which i do understand. But surley there is somewhere else which doesn't impose on your guests? Also the half used tin of coffee in the room is not what i would expect from a decent establishment. The fresh milk in the fridge was a nice touch though. The evening meals were tasty and everyone friendly. Thankyou to the lady who sorted our television out.. Amazing area with brilliant walks and easy parking opposite the pub.

Great pub with excellent service

A lovely old 'proper' village pub. Great service and food (just the right sized portions for dinner and breakfast as well. Room was initially warm (we were fine in January without the radiator on all weekend) and the mattress was very soft and bouncy (for us at least compared to what we are used to).
