Great place apart from room 1

Stayed here several times for work and normally really good, but this time i was put in room 1 which is very small. I requested a double bed but all they had done was push 2 singles together but the mattresses didnt even level up plus the sheet didnt fit. Not a nice room altogther. On the plus side staff all really friendly and food and drink very good and reasonably priced. I will stay again but ask not to be in room1

A small but well presented double room

A clean and well presented double room, a little on the small side and would have benefitted from desk/dressing table. There is a busy road outside, which may both some people. I would certainly be happy to stay there again.

Very friendly staff, great value for money, lovely

Great place to stay but you need a car to go to nearby places of interest. Due to "covid" the management have used what used to be the car park in front of the Pub with outside seating leaving only space for 1 car. There is however no parking restrictions along the section of road it is in. It only has 4 rooms and we got room number 4, it has obviously been recently refurbished and was very nice. Had a decent size toilet/ sink / shower room. not a problem for us but if you can not climb stairs to the first floor do not book a room here. All 4 rooms are upstairs. Booked thro hotels.com and breakfast was also included in the price, that was also very nice with as much tea / coffee / orange juice, a selection of cereal and various cooked which included full English 5/5 from us.

Food and room good

The food and room were good. Unfortunately there is now only one parking space, where there used to be four, so we had to park on the busy public road.

A stay that exceeded all expectations!

This is a really nice pub and hotel, received a really warm welcome and shown to our room, which whilst located at the top of a couple of flights of stairs, was well worth the climb! A beautifully decorated family room with kitchenette. Clean, tidy and well furnished. Comfortable bed. We decided to eat in the pub and both chose the roast as it was Sunday. Food was amazing and there was a lovely atmosphere in the pub itself. Breakfast the following morning was also wonderful, as late risers we were delighted to hear that breakfast was served all morning and there was no rush to avoid missing it! Again the food was amazing, cooked to order and tasted great. I would definitely stay here again.
