    Amazing country pub. Food was great

    Bar shut early on Saturday evening when we were still drinking

    8JohnPosted on: 12-4-2023

    Breakfast and evening meal was excellentLocation couldn't have been better for the "Tarr Steps" walk we went forLovely cosy pub, log fires with excellent rooms, very clean and tidyThey put the football on especially for us

    We thought the pub started to close up a little early. 22.30 on a Saturday night.The pub was quiet and we were probably ready for bed anyway

    6RobinPosted on: 11-9-2023

    Great location and a cozy, old world pub. comfortable bed and nice room.

    We visited many years ago but this time our stay just didn't quite match up. The beer wasn't very well kept and the food, although ok wasn't the best. I would still recommend a visit as this could just be a one off.

    Disappointing

    We had a serious complaint about a treatment from a member of staff. We have the hotel a month with a few reminders to deal with the complaint and send an apology but were told that the manager was not well and could not comment. The stay was utterly spoiled by the interaction with one member of staff - but failure to address the complaint lies with the management.
