The stay was wonderful everybody was so nice and friendly especially Martin, Karen and Rosie made our stay so nice. Wonderful staff but Martin Stone was our favourite. The only problem was the mattress was very soft and you could feel the springs.

We would come back again.

The hotel was in a nice situation ...a lovely village green with a very good shop and also a fish and chip shop, the room was nice however the bed was a little tired, there was no head board and they were mean with the pillows, I guess we could have asked for more but didn't so sitting on the bed was a little uncomfortable, parking was excellent and the actual pub was great with a pretty good atmosphere, the breakfast may have been the best we've ever had and the breakfast room was bright and delightful with friendly staff.

This was another return visit to this wonderful warm and friendly pub/hotel. This time i was accompanied with my daughter/we came up up to celebrate my friend's birthday and celebrate my daughters acceptance to University. As before the rooms we had were clean and comfortable the staff were helpful/friendly and the whole evening was brilliant. Truth be told we came up for the fantastic food served at the restaurant-we all had steak which was perfectly done and dessert-was definately worth the short ish journey up from Essex. What better than having a nice meal then stopping over for the night and back in the morning ..this place is perfect for that. There are plenty of rooms to cater for a large family or a solo traveller. I said i would return last time here....and will again...Great value for money. A great short gettaway was had by us all. A decent breakfast also considering its included in your stay.

Dinner was delicious! Bed was super comfortable and staff were so friendly and helpful... even gave us a small jug of fresh milk for our room. Suggestion: would have been nice if there were some board games/cards in the pub to pass our time. There was a dart board but tables were infront of it. But overall, lovely stay and would definately stay again!
