The Pointer was very clean, the staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The only negative was the online check in. The staff don’t actually receive it, so a waste of time doing it. Also the online checkout showed that I still owed for the room, but had been fully paid on booking.

Lovely country pub with great food in the restaurant. We were room only and breakfast was so expensive we only did it once; definitely not worth the price of breakfast. Nice rooms and lovely big bathrooms.

Spacious rooms, needed a dust!

The rooms are spacious and cosy. The desk area could have done with a dust and the shower fitments were a little leaky, but mainly a great place with fine food in the bar/restaurant!

Charming village location and nice style

This is a really lovely pub and rooms above the pub in an exceptionally charming village. Room we had was lovely - nice products, spacious bathroom. The breakfast was charged separately but was really good - evening meal service not quite the same standard I would say.
