"Nichts für kreativ tätige Gäse."

6.0

Die Lage ist total ländlich, schön zum Spazierengehen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und versuchte zu helfen.

Das Zimmer befand sich direkt oberhalb der Küche und einer sehr lauten Entlüftungsanlage, die bis 22 Uhr lief. Ich empfand das dauerhafte Geräusch - auch bei geschlossenen Fenstern - als sehr unangenehm. Das Personal war zwar bemüht, dies zu klären, konnte jedoch nichts ändern. Leider gab es keinen Schreibtisch und das Licht am Bett war in Form einer Glühlampe, was ich nicht als komfortabel erlebte. Beim Frühstück musste wir lange warten (20 - 30 Min.) bis wir etwas bekamen. Das Abendessen war für mich durchschnittlich gewesen, die Tortellini waren z. B. viel zu weich gekocht.

"Lovely pub, excellent selection of wine, hit and miss service"

7.0

Lovely room in a rural location which was perfect for us visiting a local vineyard. The food was nice but I think we probably had higher expectations for it.

The first member of staff who we dealt with was lovely. Later in the evening the staff who served us for dinner were a bit fed up and seemed as if they wanted to go home, which is fair enough but we felt like an inconvenience to them which is not how you want to feel when you go for dinner. It seemed like they couldn’t wait for us to leave which was a bit of a shame.

"Country pub with well deserved reputation for delicious seasonal food"

9.0

Quiet rural location, surrounded by fields. The bar and lounge area welcoming and comfortable with leather settees and armchairs. The food was delicious and well known for its gastro-pub reputation. It didn’t disappoint.

The only gripe was there was only 1 chair in the bedroom.

Nice clean room with a balcony outside. Nice location. Good food. Comfortable bed. Great shower.

They stopped serving food on a Tuesday at 4pm, so the pub closed, leaving any guests with nowhere to eat. Breakfast didn't start until 08.30 am, which was too late, as I had to start my construction job by 8am.
