Comfortable, clean room in a quaint old pub. Food was OK, but pricey. The most disappointing thing, given that the pub is owned by Adnams, was the quality of the beer. I tried all three of their staple brews, all of which I know and like, but they were all flat and lifeless. They were also very expensive given that they were only brewed ‘up the road’!!

A little gem

So pleased I found this little gem. Lovely team of people, so cheerful, friendly, hardy, and welcoming, they obviously loved their jobs. My room felt fresh, was tastefully decorated, with a spacious en-suite, super comfortable king sized bed, and stable doors that opened out to a couple of steps down to my own terrace area. I wish I was staying longer.

Lovely cosy pub.

Excellent pub with super comfy beds and great food. Breakfast was beautifully cooked with lovely locally smoked kippers. Evening meal was also superb. Staff all very accommodating and very friendly. Excellent Adnams ale. Don't pay to park opposite as you will be given a resident voucher to park for free by the landlord. Only minor downside was that there was a bath rather than a shower. I would definitely stay there again.
