Very welcoming. Spacious and very clean room. Cold water and fresh milk in fridge on landing. Pub had a good atmosphere. My only whinge is I think breakfast should be included not an extra. Would definitely stay here again.

Friendly, Immaculate, Perfect for Oulton

Brilliantly friendly village local pub with clean rooms and great food. Super warm welcome from the couple who run it, and a less than 10 min walk to Oulton Park. The room decor is a little dated, but it is exceptionally clean and has everything you need. I’ll definitely be back.

One night stay

The new owners are very friendly as are the staff. Our evening meal was excellent. I had the gammon and asked if I could have mash instead of chips which I got and it was beautiful. Hubby had chicken salad and it was also excellent. We really enjoyed our one night stay.
