Beautifully restored building. Very comfortable and atmospheric. Good choices on evening menu. Nice meal with prompt friendly service. Stayed overnight on B&B basis. Good sized comfortable standard room and bathroom. Bathroom ready for upgrading/redecorating but more than adequate.
Went today for Sunday lunch with my dad, great food and excellent service. Highly recommend and big shot out to out to our lovely waitress Paige who was very friendly and helpful 😂. Will definitely be back. Many thanks
The staff really make this hotel. Every star I’ve awarded was for them and their helpfulness.
My issue is I believe some of the rooms to be grossly overpriced. I was visiting for a wedding and paid the same amount/more (£180) for my small double room as some of my friends paid for their large and vastly more luxurious rooms. I didn’t even have coffee making facilities. When I checked out, I wasn’t asked how my stay was, otherwise I would’ve brought this up.
Overall, the hotel/pub are cosy with lovely traditional features in some of the rooms. The breakfast was good, though my poached eggs were quite overdone.
The staff really are top notch and were so helpful taking my luggage up to my room when I checked in as I didn’t have time.

A great pub, really unique and finished to a high standard. Fab variety of seating, booths, high backed chairs and comfortable chairs, so every table is a treat. A good sized beer garden too, with plenty of seating - if the weather stays dry enough to enjoy. I appreciated the choice of beers and there was a good selection of rose wines to choose from - a much better selection than the usual Zinfandel or Pinot Blush options. The whole pub was dog friendly, which is great for us, dog biscuits on the bar and a doggy menu too.
We heard several people checking in during our visit, and were interested that all rooms are dog friendly too. Hopefully we'll have chance to stay over next time.

Gorgeous old English building, with rooms above the pub. Great atmosphere in the pub and the rooms were clean with plenty of refreshments, tea/coffee making facilities. Staff were welcoming and helpful. We travelled with 2 kids (aged 1 and 4). The room was spacious even with the toddler bed and cot. Breakfast was delicious but a little on the late side for us at 8:30am (as our kids were up at 6:15am). All in all a great place to stay. Highly recommended!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here it feels cosy, welcoming and friendly. The Private car park at the rear leads to the beer garden and rear entrance. The bar is spacious and offers all sorts of beverage. Waiting staff make you feel welcome and take time to run through whatever specials they have. The food menu has a good selection available but it does need far more veggie stuff. Food is of a good quality and served piping hot. Bedrooms are above the main bar but still remain quiet and cosy. Beds are super comfy too.
Good choice of beers and the service was efficient. Food was beautifully cooked, but I ordered the sea bass with prawns, which was only served with 3 chunks of courgette,one and 1/2 new potatoes and 4 cherry tomatoes. Now, I don't have a particularly large appetite ,but even I thought the vegetable accompaniment was severely lacking. My poor partner was really disappointed.
