Very helpful let us check in early which was very handy as we had a wedding to go to close by. We had drinks in the bar later and the bar staff were very friendly. Our room was very clean and a nice comfy king size bed was great to sleep in. A great full English breakfast went down well to soak up the wedding drinks.

The owner and his family made you feel very welcome and friendly people, room was very big and nicely decorated. Clean and tidy.

great location, fabulous rooms, really spacious great pub!

nothing, only suggestion it would have been nice to have a hair dryer in the room.

Convenient back entrance for after hours. Superb location in the countryside

location

everything

The bed was comfortable and the hosts were pleasant

We booked this before change of ownership as last year it was a lovely place to stay. We were not advised of this so hadn’t booked anywhere to eat. The landlady did try her best to accommodate us with food but it was all Indian food and very spicy which neither of us can eat. Also Karaoke night on the second night which was right under our bedroom and people were still talking in the yard under our bedroom window until the sun started coming up the next morning 😡

Warm welcome & lovely room. The location/ area is beautiful.

It was lovely and the new owners couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Nothing really.

On the face of it the room was well presented however the bed was a rickety metal frame and squeaked when I moved through the night, didn't sleep at all. The LED light above the shower flashed light a strobe and was very annoying. No decaf coffee as an option. The access to the building was difficult with having to slip out the back door in the early morning and late evening. More of a room in someone's house than a hotel stay. No breakfast which I thought was disappointing and inconvenient although I could have overlooked this in the small print but didn't seem obvious.

room was very spacious with everything I needed.

Nothing

Really friendly staff.

We had a great stay. nice big room and good pub downstairs. owner is lovely. Quiet location and plenty of parking available. recommend family to stay here for our wedding near by. Really liked that there was a fridge always a bonus

Would be 10 out of 10 if they started doing breakfast. And maybe another hour on checkout would be great

no breakfast room only

nothing

it had a lovely charm about it

very nice and comfortable rooms. friendly staff and cosy little pub.

Lovely relaxed stay. Very reasonable price for a a stay in a lovely location. The room was clean with everything that was required provided. Nice friendly atmosphere and although the rooms are above a pub, there was no noise disturbance. Definitely would stay again!

Would be better with breakfast 😀

Room was big and clean. The area is beautiful.

The reception was poor, it was hard to find the way in, no one answered the door and we had to telephone to be let in. The man who met us was pleasant but he didn't offer to help with luggage and I am a 64 year old woman with osteoporosis and I had a heavy bag to carry upstairs. My husband had to carry both our bags. The room was big and pleasant and warm, but the shower floor was very slippery. We were there for two nights and our tea bag supply was not replenished nor was the room cleaned or tidied after our first night. The room wasn't expensive but for the same price we could have had have had a room with breakfast and better service at a nearby hotel (I chose the Griffin because I remembered it as a warm, welcoming place from my youth). The carpet on the way to the exit was very dirty as there was no mat for people to use to wipe their feet when they came in. The exit was dangerous, there was no light and my son fell down the step on the path. Moreover, we stayed on Sunday the 18th December 2022, a very icy period, and the whole of the path and the block paved exit route was covered in black ice. I couldn't even stand still without slipping, and I had to resort to crawling across the paving on my hands and knees to reach a neighbouring garden lawn where I could then walk more safely on the grass. The exit route should have been gritted and salted to make it safe.

cute little place, lovely bar with good selection off drinks and food. room was comfortable.

nothing

location good. staff/owners very friendly. room very clean and well furnished

Great location for wedding at 'The Venue' mill down the road. It is about 30 min walk up a steep hill but there is pavement all the way and we took coats and boots! The room was very cosy and warm with a mini fridge and tea making facilities. The bed was comfortable and lovely clean bedding. We were allowed to check-in a little earlier (due to the timings of the wedding) and were given a key and code to access the building later on. Staff were very friendly on check-in.

Main negative was no offer of a cooked breakfast but we knew this in advance from reading the reviews so it wasn't a surprise. Yorkshire tea bags would have been good in the room (rather than unidentified round ones not in a sealed packet) and some biscuits are normally expected on a tea tray. The carpet was very stained in the corridor area but mainly because it was a light colour as it was clean. Everything else was very good.

Comfortable bed Good location

Shower needs attention as was not draining in 2 rooms No breakfast due to staff shortages
