lovely stay excellent team there

I found the place very easily using sat nav,the staff were so welcoming and nothing was to much bother for them. the room was lovely and although I prefer a bath the wet room was large and shower hot and powerful. I ate in the evening and food was very nice and again staff excellent.

yep, no question, I'd stay there again.

Everything. Friendly, although not included in the accommodation the home pub cooking was generous, proper home made and set a new standard in fully packed meat pies! Plus yogurt and yummies left in the fridge, In the room. TV worked with out having to sign my life away. Shower was super good, towels folded into a round and tucked into them selves. Toilet paper left with a delicate fold. I could go on, but this place is well worth a bit extra. Lovey owners and great pub conversation.

Superb hospitality, very friendly staff and locals I travel around the country alone, so Donkey and Buskins for me, is a home from home. I always get the warmest of welcomes when I arrive. Definitely recommend. 👍

Everything. Jan and Alan are most definitely super hosts. All the locals are so friendly and chatty. The service from all the staff is exceptional and I cannot fault anything. Very good selection on the menu and the specials board. Having eaten there multiple times I have not had a meal that I wouldn't order again. I would highly recommend.

Good priced bed for the night

Loved the outside space. Very pretty and tranquil. Surprised by the breakfast supplied in the room. Wasn't expecting it. Simple and tasty. Staff friendly. Room served our purpose of a reasonably priced room for a 1 night stopover.

Bed too soft. Outside light kept coming on. Bathroom felt a bit basic.

Could have been perfect, but it was far too cold!

Tidy, clean and reasonably priced.

There was no hot water, the shower didn’t get warm and I couldn’t get the heating on in the room at all. It was freezing! I got back to the room after the pub closed and it wasn’t due to open until checkout the next day. (I didn’t see the laminated paper with the emergency contact details on it, which was under the shelf on the bedside table, until I was packing my bag to leave in the morning.) Also, it’s right next to the road, which isn’t very busy, but it is very loud when traffic goes by.

The cabin did look nice, but it is not somewhere i would stay again for the afore reasons mentioned.

The location was positioned very well, as i was in the area for work it worked out to be a couple of minutes commute for me.

The ensuite was disappointing, the shower pressure was very poor and the drainage was very bad, i had to use the squeegee provided to stop it going in to the bedroom (a bit of a giveaway now as to why it was there?) The wifi connectivity was not good, i gave up trying to access it.
