"Very good"

8.0

The room was spacious and clean. The bed was large and comfortable and had all the facilities I needed for an overnight stay before a meeting in Aylesbury. Breakfast was excellent and the staff helpful.

There is quite a lot of road noise through the village, especially freight which you can hear from the room as the window had to be open as it was a warm evening. But an old pub is always going to be on a main road.

Breakfast

Noise from road- whole building shook as lorries thundered past. Room cheap and nasty! TV buffering all of the time. Kettle didn’t pour correctly, nearly scalded my foot Restaurant closed on Sunday - no food in village on a Sunday!
