"Read the other reviews and take note!"

6.0

Great for a one-night-stopover.

Whilst Booking.com said Pets were included and no additional charge, we we charged £10 for our dog at check-in. Bed and pillows weren't the most comfortable. We heard every noise from our neighbours throughout the night. Bit odd having the shower in full view of the rest of the room. Plus, we ordered our breakfast at vheck-in, only to be told in the morning that they were unaware of our order. All of the above has been previously mentioned on r3views. Perhaps we should have listened.

"Gorgeous Pub and top notch food."

8.0

The most gorgeous pub I have been in for a long time. Amazing food and hugely welcoming bar staff. Rural village and easy to get to in a car.

Sadly my room had a really annoying constant buzz all evening. It disappeared later on so may have been an extractor fan or something. Great shower and incredibly clean. Personally I would have appreciated a breakfast menu to pick from rather than just answering if I want a cooked breakfast.

"Nice people and location but it needs more attention in different areas"

7.0

Afternoon/evening staff are very friendly and the pizzas are fantastic

Rooms need some sound proofing due to snoring of other guests. Breakfast was horrible didn’t eat it not enough staff/and or training issues

"Good"

4.0

The room did seem clean.

Breakfast was pretty poor, especially if you didn't want a cooked breakfast - very limited options. Cheap yoghurt, sliced bread, hardly any choice of spreads. Had to try quite hard just to get a cup of tea. Nothing felt fresh. Bench seating was quite uncomfortable. Rooms were less pleasant than the pictures from the website, no character. Weird to have shower in the room. Noisy. Very few plug sockets, tv was hard to use. Food in the evening was poor - I had fairly bland overpriced veg curry, my friends had a particularly poor experience with their order which was missing half the things advertised on the menu. Ice cream was very low quality. All just felt very budget, though it was advertised as something more special, and would have rather stayed in a travelodge in the end (for less).

"Cosy pub with everything you could want"

9.0

The cosy bar /restaurant area and staff were great. The food was excellent.

The angle of the bed in the twin room felt a bit strange but it was otherwise lovely and all that we needed.
