We had continental breakfast which was good.
Hot water running into the bath was very very slow. I would recommend the place. The food,ambience and friendly service was good. We enjoyed it.
3.0 / 5.0
The room was super clean and comfy. Also lovely and spacious.
We felt that it was odd there was no breakfast offering at all. It’s quite a drive for anything so think it should either be made explicit that you need to bring your own or something simple should be provided. Usually at pubs they provide a full English breakfast but if this isn’t possible we think some pastries should be brought in or delivered to the rooms when people stay.

Fabulous hotel and stay, The staff were incredibly welcoming both at check in and dinner and breakfast service. The food was exceptional and the menu had a good variety. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I also left an item of clothing behind and had to call to see if I could get the item returned the staff were most helpful and agreed to post back as I live over 200miles away.
I would have liked a shower in my room, My room only had a handheld shower nozzle other than that no complaints.

The staff were great, the food was absolutely excellent and the pub itself was a real village pub with a very friendly feel to it.
Could have been slightly warmer in the pub itself!

Spacious and clean rooms, cosy atmosphere and good service.
There was no shower head in the bathroom and we were able to hear upstairs guests walk. Pretty thin walls, I guess.

1.5 / 5.0
Our dinner in the restaurant was very good. Great size portions and really tasty!
The biggest issue we had was the beds. They were the most uncomfortable beds we’ve ever slept in and we’ve travelled a lot and stayed in many places. The sofa bed was incredibly disappointing as the mattress was terrible and my son didn’t sleep very well on it at all. The main bed was equally as disappointing…Was this mattress old? Reason: It was sooo uncomfortable…my husband and I also just couldn’t sleep on it. We do also think it’s not difficult to clean out spiderwebs and spiders. My son hates spiders, so after seeing the big one in the bathroom made it difficult for him want to go into the bathroom to use it. It’s the attention to details that make a huge difference for anyone, but what can make or break a stay is the comfort and the beds were just awful. Therefore, overall it was really disappointing.

The property was excellent, and the staff were friendly, helpful and polite
There could have been a salad and/or a chicken choice at dinner.
1.5 / 5.0
property was lovely however there was a burst water pipe which meant there was no heating, although this wasn’t there fault the next day they expected me to pay full price even though the room was freezing and I could not use the facilities in the room. The reason was ‘well you already had a shower before the pipe burst’, thought the customer service was poor.
Lack of customer service and flexibility to understand the situation.

Beautiful area. Great breakfast. Helpful and friendly staff.
The single bed was hard and uncomfortable. The shower was difficult to manage. Lovely shutters but the edges of the windows were mildewed and dirty.
