On arrival venue was closed with work being done to the roof. After a couple of calls and texts, was greeted and shown to my room (room2). The room was lovely, bed really comfortable, decent sized cups for tea/coffee in room. The radiator in the room was not on and the radiator in the ensuite was on. The TV did not have a remote - I did get one later but there was no terrestrial TV available only streaming. I had my evening meal here, had one of the burgers which was really tasty but the "chips" which came with it were crispy french fries. On website stated breakfast started at 7am (which is one of the reasons I booked it), then when asked what time I would like breakfast got a reply of "he normally doesn't start until 7:30". I then said I would just take a bacon roll. What I got was 4 rashers of bacon, no bread. For the money I would not stay here again.

First night I was welcomed and breakfast was lovely. However after returning from a wedding at 8.30pm the pub was in darkness. I went to my room and slept, on going down the next morning, I could not find anyone. I rang the bell called by phone and shouted. After waiting for several minutes I wrote a note and left for my journey back to Heathrow. My room was cold, no heating and the TV didn't work. Thankfully I had my IPad. I don’t like writing poor reviews but had no choice as nobody was around to discuss my issues. I won’t be going back. The pub is lovely but think they should forget about offering B&B unless they can improve. Ended up with a Mars Bar for breakfast.

Spent two great days at this B&B. It's off the main highways in a small village environment. Peaceful, quiet and relaxing. We had a warm welcome from the staff, who were helpful, friendly and made our stay relaxing. The room was large, clean and stocked with tea, coffee and water. The bed was comfortable and it was very quiet at night. The breakfast bun was amazing, the bacon and sausage tasted great. We had an evening meal which was also prepared and cooked well. I had home made Pizza (loads of toppings to choose from) and my wife had an amazing burger. All in all a great stay. Really Recommend this establishment, and I hope we've back again soon.

Hidden gem with great food

Despite some minor challenges with sorting our check-in, Kordian (B&B owner/manager) more than made up for it with his warm & friendly welcome and making us feel right at home. The room was clean and very comfortable and the fry up in a bap for breakfast was impressive! Thanks for making our trip that bit more fun : )

Lovely little b n b in its great staff. Room was clean and comfy. We were going to a concert at Englefied house. Got an uber there. We were told by the bar staff that they would be open until midnight for our return so that we could have a drink before bed but in our return the lad behind the bar told us they had closed at 10-45pm and we couldn’t have one even although we had a tab and were staying there. In the morning the owner done our breakfast and he was a pleasure to deal with. All in all I would return and stay again but would triple check closing time of the bar

Not what I expected but ok for the price

Advertised to have the option to 'unwind at the bar or restaurant' - neither of which were serving food the night I stayed. Also advertised as having a 'cooked to order breakfast' - all that was available was 2 types of cereal in their boxes, some yoghurts and some berries, still in their plastic supermarket containers. The staff were lovely and despite my room not being ready due to a glitch with the cleaner, my stay was ok. The room was hot, the bed had a thick, feather duvet on it and only a small fan to keep cool.
