"Cool traditional pub"

9.0

Lovely pub in a great position . Lovely oak beams , decor and room was great. Good shower, and with bath. Great breakfast.

Small carpark was full but we were late due to 4 hrs journey. Got a space later. Not a massive issue except we had tools and equipment in the car.

10.0

Comfort and pleasant staff

Breakfast took an hour to deliver to tables The evening meal was the food was poor terrible steak pie and awful gammon and egg that was brought to my colleagues. I was shocked to hear my colleagues complain when I asked if they were enjoying their meal
