Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Room had everything we needed, including a very comfy bed but was cold, even whilst we had both heaters on, and the bathroom was even colder. Also couldn't get any hot water from the basin tap. Food good, especially the breakfast.

This was the second time that we have stayed in this lovely old pub and our experience was just as good as on our first visit. The food at both dinner and breakfast was excellent and the service from Matt and his team is as good as you’ll find any pub in the UK. The village of Plush is charming but very small and rather remote so don’t any night life!

Lovely place to stay

Very warm welcome, really good customer service. The rooms were spacious and well equipped, the tea, biscuits and Nespresso machine were very welcome. Food was excellent and the bar was very friendly. Cannot recommend enough, it is a pretty thatched pub in a very quiet hamlet.
