Nicely appointed rooms that were very comfortable. Hosts were very accommodating over a public holiday weekend, making a late check-in easy. Thank you.

Staff where very rude Girl called Lucy behind bar was terrible , rude and insulting , needs a lesson in manners
Was a very comfortable room, loved the chairs and the overall decor.
Nothing that I remember, except I found the prices of the food and drink a bit steep
Easy check in, friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were clean and tidy
Nice relaxed place. Good food. Good beer. Staff excellent.
I never bother with the breakfast / packed lunch.
We were attending a family birthday celebration in the pub restaurant so decided to stay at the same location. The room was well appointed and extremely clean. Plenty of parking in the car park. When we arrived pub was very busy and we did confirm on booking that assistance to the room was not required so could book in earlier than advertised. Continental breakfast included in room price, this included fruits, cereals, pastries, toast and conserves but at weekends can upgrade to a cooked breakfast for an additional charge. We also ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food and service were excellent.
The heating in the room could have been put on to ensure the room was warm for arrival. Took a while for the heater to take off the chill in the room complimentary coffee, tea water and biscuits should match number of occupants not one of each. This is not a critique but a tip to future guests that a hairdryer is not provided so you may wish to pack one for your stay, together with your other toiletries. Breakfast is served at one time only and at 9am on a weekend away was a little early than we would have liked on a Sunday morning.
quiet room.
poor lighting. could not see to read!
Lovely pub, food was really good room was a very good size with a large TVStaff were also lovely
My only comment would be the shower/bath didn't work very well as it had a circular rail over a freestanding bath, and when you turned to divert on the bath tap it sprayed all over the floor.They were renovating the hallways, so it would be good if they can do the bathrooms too
High quality breakfast - good choice for continental option.Friendly staff always willing to help.Perfect location for us.
Purpose built bedroom block, good continental breakfast included. Bed large and quite comfortable.
Mansard roof awkward in bathroom. Very dated bathroom but adequate.
The friendly staff, lovely room and excellent food.
A few things, especially in the bathroom, need attention: eg the towel rail didn't work, the door needs some shaving off at the bottom, the basin plug is unreliable, the loo seat is awry.
Reasonable breakfast.A nice selection of prepared fruitsWould have been nice to have a yoghurt with the fruit
Difficulty getting the shower to be at right temp.Either too hot or wad cold
The place, the food, the staff especially were great. The room was a little spartan, but fine.
The shower was not great unfortunately.
Great location , quiet and private accommodation. Excelent food and service from staff . Property clean and meet our expectations. I would recommend 100% to anyone who would like to visit .
A nice place to stay, friendly staff and good food.
Breakfast is very basic
