"Friendly, warm and cosy atmosphere!"

9.0

Our room was separate to the pub, it was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was also a good size and, the shower was hot and powerful. We had everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast was excellent, a good choice on offer. We ate at the pub on both evenings and were not disappointed. The portions were very good and the food was cooked to order. Jane was lovely, she was the first person we met when we arrived and nothing was to much trouble. A great person to have at the front of house.

There was nothing not to like.

The location was good for me. 6 minutes from Staunton Harold reservoir, where i was fishing.

Nothing that I didn't like, I'll definitely be staying again.

"Une adresse à retenir"

9.0

C’est un endroit chaleureux et confortable.. une vieille maison à l’extérieur d’un pub traditionnel qui était une ancienne boulangerie classée monument historique La chambre était grande et bien équipée et la restauration est bonne , faite maison et à la demande

Il manquait juste un peu de lumière au dessus du lavabo. Le reste était parfait.
