Friendly and welcoming staff on arrival and during our stay. A pleasant and well located Hotel/Pub that met our needs. Room was small, but it says that in the description, so no complaints from us unlike others who obviously hadn't bothered to read the room descriptions. Comfortable bed and decent pillows which were most welcome. Would stay again.

Good location and fairly priced. Suite room was good for us as a family and TVs were large. Staff were quite busy (they are also running a busy bar and restaurant) but generally helpful. No fridge in the room but generally good.

Lovely comfortable clean room, very helpful staff. There was no air conditioning and we couldn’t open the windows and we stayed during a heatwave so the room was very hot. Next time probably wouldn’t pay for breakfast as there are lots of excellent cafes close by

Sadly, this property doesn’t offer a breakfast. Also the pub’s restaurant doesn’t offer roast dinners during the week, only weekends. The restaurant just outside the pub has a brilliant full English breakfast menu and great coffee. It called The Old Grain Store and I would really recommend eating in this lovely restaurant.
