Excellent breakfast with good efficient service. Evening meal pleasant nice relaxed ambiance in the pub. The menu is not extensive but has adequate choice for a short stay and the food was excellent.
The beds were a little tired and the soundproofing between rooms could be better

The service was great! People are VERY very nice.
The mattress seemed quite old and uncomfortable and the decor dated.

The property itself is fantastic, lovely and cozy feel to it. Rooms are all their own separate units and is located in a lovely peaceful area.
Nothing to really say that I didn’t like about it.

Friendly , pub rooms
Pub - restaurant little choice of food and not great quality - also in bar very limited on drinks range/quality available- paid for superior room which was located above the kitchen so had the rumble/vibration of kitchen extraction fans from 4-8pm - also very large green security light in room located middle of ceiling (rather than discreetly by door) so as it’s all on all night (we hadn’t any control ) the room was lit up by greenish ligh so bright all night

Lovely quaint, quiet place, off the beaten track, that served great food, with friendly staff, where nothing was to much bother. The history of the village was amazing. Thank you for a relaxing, peaceful stay, we will be back.

Nothing! All good.
4.6
Not an inexpensive place but considering location in holiday time not surprising.
Nice room, bed definitely larger and better than many in similar situations.
Good bathroom, proper shower and all clean.
Evening meals not exotic but better than average cooked and served and at a sensible price.
The vegetarian sausage at breakfast was terrible!
Just get a Linda McCartney one!
4.8
Lovely quiet location - the River Piddle runs through the grounds - and the walk around the old part of the village by the church (and for some reason called "Little Egypt) is very relaxing. Bacon, eggs and fried bread were delicious and the staff most obliging. Recommend.
