Guest Reviews
- Pearson (8/5): Cute cottage style room - Clean comfortable room, very quiet position. Good value. That unfortunately the pub was closed, but we were told about this in advance .
- Tracey (7/5): - Nice location Uncomfortable bed and only a hand towel
- Paul (8/5): Very pleasant for a short stay with very good food in pub. - Good place for 1 or 2 nights if visiting the area.
Accommodation was very quiet and peaceful with hardly any traffic noise.
Rooms are in a separate building to the rear of the pub which helped make them quiet.
Food at the pub was very good. The room was a bit dark. Required lights on in middle of day but not a problem for a short stay.
- Shawnee (10/5): Easy check-in and out, great communication, and a peaceful stay in a lovely, quiet area. - Smooth and easy check-in and check-out made the stay stress-free from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout, with everything clearly explained. The area was lovely—peaceful, quiet, and perfect for a relaxing stay.
- Beckydodmanwainwright (9/5): - Quiet, cute pub with good food and excellent staff No internet.. but this was okay and I relaxed!!
- Simon (8/5): Cheap & Cheerful - Quiet neighbourhood. Nice pub food. Accommodating staff. No heating or WiFi in my room. No big deal. I could have mentioned this to the staff but I wasn't overly bothered but just thought I'd mention it.
- andre (9/5): - NA WIFI weak signal , use of CPL would help
- Jacqueline (9/5): - It was self check in. It was very cosy. It had everything I needed. The dial to control the radiator wasn't attached and when the room got to hot I put it back on which allowed me to turn it off. The shower door sticks at the bottom
- michael james (7/5): - Pretty decent bandb Milk wAs sour,sadly. Everythi e
- Gregory (7/5): -
- Neil (4/5): -
- Winifred (9/5): Tranquil location, excellent food and welcoming staff , the perfect way to end a tiring day - The location, in a tiny hamlet was so peaceful.After a long journey sitting in the late afternoon sun in the garden with tea and biscuits was perfect. The food in the evening was greatly enjoyed by all our party. Staff were very helpful and friendly It is hard to think of anything that could have bettered our stay.
- andre (7/5): - Wifi signal is not always good
- Victoria (10/5): -
- andre (8/5): - NA wi fi signal
- Chris (4/5): Has potential to be lovely. - The property itself is in a quiet location and the rooms are out of the way. The bar is comfortable and food is well-priced. Plenty of off-street parking. No heating or hot water so room was cold and shower freezing. Bar closed 30mins earlier than advertised. Some additional attention to detail through the room would improve the experience - signs taped over windows, dust on higher surfaces.
- Peter (8/5): - Very warm and cosy. Shame the pub wasn't open for food.
- Carpenter (6/5): Overall the room was small , lovely modern Shower room - The room was lovely and clean . Unfortunately we didn’t get to meet the owners or any staff. The pub wasn’t open, No information leaflet was in the room regarding food or timings or wi-if, although when I messaged the owner, she did apologise that is wasn’t left in our room. Decaf coffee sachets. A leaflet on hrs of the pub and was food provided at any time. And if wi-go was available
- Amanda (10/5): -
- andre (8/5): -
- Allison (3/5): Quiet, but underwheli - Bathroom was lovely Bedroom very spartan. Tiny single bed and lighting was poor, too bright or too low.
Welcome was very underwhelming. No asking if I wanted to eat in the bar, if I needed anything. All just a bit underwhelming. Too hot all night.
What was nice was how dark the room was. I love it pit h black.
Won't be staying there again.
- Tom (10/5): - Nice and quoet Nobody around as pub only open for a few hours each evening

- Rachel (8/5): - Lovely, cosy room, bed was really comfy.
- Piera (7/5): Stanza carina e pulita, da perfezionare alcuni servizi. - Accogliente e pulita. Host molto cortese ma non costantemente presente nella struttura. L’host propone una colazione al sacco che fornisce la sera prima in una borsa frigo, contiene latte burro marmellata cereali e della frutta e un croissant, ma in questo modo è immangiabile, bisognerebbe almeno fornire del pane.
Non viene fornito l’asciugacapelli.

- Julie (10/5): Garden rooms - a pleasant surprise - The rooms were very modern and stylish. Loved the decor and matching bedding with a sheep theme! The ensuite was spacious and clean. Lovely large screen TV and tea and coffee supplies in the room too. The bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet and warm. The arrangements for entering the accommodation without anyone being present were great and instructions given on how to find the pub were very useful. It was a shame the check in time was so late (6pm) but it wasn't a problem to arrive earlier after making arrangements in advance. The pub didn't open until 6pm either so we had to venture into Stogursey to have an afternoon drink before heading off to our party. I can understand the opening hours however and knew this when booking. Shame there was no cooked breakfast available but a very plentiful continental breakfast could be delivered to your room when booked in advance.
- Thomas (9/5): Lovely. - The room was quaint and lovely. The pub itself was warm and friendly, excellent food. I'd go as far as to say one of the best burgers I've ever eaten.
- Pam (8/5): Comfortable stay in Sturton - I was able to check in early, and the room was warm and very comfortable. As the pub was closed the following day, breakfast was provided in a coolbag. It was very peaceful. The wifi didn't work at all - I couldn't see the network. I did speak to the owner about it when she delivered the breakfast and she said she'd check, however the network still wasn't visible and I never heard anything more about it.
I would have loved to try the food, as several people had told me how good it is, however sadly the restaurant is closed on Mondays!
