We had a family room which was very spacious, clean with a lovely bathroom. There was lovely drinks facilities in the bedroom - the best coffee option I have seen. There was also some lovely local made cookies.

Obviously with this being a very old building (around 1849) the floors upstairs near the bedrooms were incredibly creaky. We stayed in Room 3 - unfortunately the bed was quite hard and the extractor fan for the kitchen downstairs was right outside the window - this was however turned off at around 2200. The most disappointing thing about our stay was the breakfast - apparently cooked breakfasts are only served on weekends, and our 'continental breakfast' consisted only of a few different cereals, croissants, yoghurt and either apples or oranges. Very disappointed considering the meal we ate the night before was delicious. Not sure we'd stay here again, probably on a weekend in hopes for an improved breakfast!

Staff we're attentive and lovely, so cannot fault their service. Unfortunately, we had the room with the extractor fan for the pubs kitchen, so was very noisy until approx after 10pm. The building is old, so expected noise, unfortunately the floors we're very queaky and noisy in and outside the rooms. Hotel did provide ear plugs in the bathroom, however, I don't think the housekeeping realised they were open and used previously. It is a lovely hotel with lots of historic charms of the countryside though.

Great pub in a lovely village

Unfortunately due the heatwave the room was to small & it was like sleeping in an oven, I appreciate it wasn’t the owners fault , but a fan just didn’t do the job , we had our dog with us , happy to say it’s very dog friendly , the food was excellent especially the breakfast , would return in cooler weather

Room near stairs so can hear quite a lot of the buzz of activity particularly at cleanup. Staircase creaking whenever anyone goes up or down.

Excellent stay - a really nice big room, spotlessly clean with all the facilities you could need. For me the bed was too firm, but that's my back. Not easy to please! Thank you for a lovely stay.

We were pleased with the breakfast on Sunday morning as we could order off a menu but then the next 2 mornings was only a few small items to pick from. Monday morning there was a person to help out if we needed anything but Tuesday morning there was no one to be found. When I went to pay for the stay (it said to pay at property) I had to leave the money with cleaning staff. Then I get an email that says they charged my card on the first day so they ended up keeping my money and putting a credit on my card. We were frustrated with lack of communication and the idea that no one was there to check you out and take your key was baffling to us. Otherwise everything was fine.

The bathroom needs some TLC. There's a smell in there that wasn't pleasant. The shower cubicle is worn and unsightly. There's mold in the corner of the shower..

A very friendly welcome, family room was clean and tidy and nice & warm. Excellent pub food - definitely worth pre-booking a table as gets very busy. Breakfast was excellent too. Great service, lovely place from which to explore. Would happily stay again!
