Food was excellent, pub was nice, breakfast was nice. Room was nice and comfortable but bathroom let it down, toilet had not been flushed and was full of toilet paper, cold shower would not heat up tried everything and then basin in shower was blocked and filled with water quickly. Still a lovely old pub

Really liked the pub. We stayed for a wedding in the local area. Accommodation was quiet, bed was comfortable and the bed linen and towels were great quality.

8/10 Very good

Great setting next to pretty village green, great breakfast, comfortable bed. Some attention needed to facilities, eg shower drainage, potholes near building, needed to request several basic items at breakfast.

Cosy, quiet and very relaxing

We came in the evening after a long flight, and we were greated by some very welcoming hosts. They took good care of us, we got some good beers in the bar before bedtime 😋 very comfy beds and nice rooms. We will come back next time 😊

10/10 Exceptional

I don’t bother to review often…

but when I do, it’s because it was excellent. Absolutely lovely boarding house/pub in a small village. Tons of atmosphere and charm. The innkeep and his staff were very pleasant and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent and very open to customization. They even had a vegetarian version of the full English breakfast, which is something I don’t find very often. Will highly recommend for a family stopover or as a base for a few days while scouting the area.

4/10 Fair

The property was a lot shabbier than it looked in the photos. They tried to take payment two days before we arrived, even tho I chose pay on arrival. The staff were a bit bolshy about it when I called. We booked a ‘King’ room but it was only a double bed. I’m not following up as it was only one night and visiting relatives. Would not stay here again

Wonderful house, very nice employees, enjoyed sitting outside in the evening sun. Thx a lot!
Niels, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice location, great customer service, choice for B'fast & clean. The property needs big improvements as it can be very hot in summer days! fan was supplied but didn't help much, we had ground floor room couldn't leave the curtains & window open as no net to keep flies away and to have privacy as can see people traffic outside your room window. Lovely surroundings to have picnic.
Sonal, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Average facilities, carpet was not cleaned and the shower tray had mould all around and smelled of mould, the shower tray had dark grease type stuff and so we did not use the shower.
