From other reviews we booked a room here. Our room was ok but the bed was very uncomfortable. The shower leaked and the shower head holder was broken. Shower was like a drip. Radiator in the bathroom also didn't work. No menu at breakfast, being asked what we wanted without one was a bit odd. Had great meal there in the evening, food was perfect. We booked about 5 days before and when we arrived we had been put on a table in the bar which was freezing and close to a door which had people walking in and out the whole time. We asked to move as my family were about to arrive and a few of the older ones really feel the cold. The waitress said that we were sitting there because we booked late and said we could move to the table in the restaurant area but we would have to take our own cutlery with us. I feel this is a bit odd and not what I would expect from other places, service wise. Overall go there for the room but I would no recommend staying.

The property is lovely and the interior is amazing and old. It was tastefully decorated and all the amenities were top notch. Everything in the room was perfect and well thought of. The staff were very friendly, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was warm and happy. The price point is excellent too. My only concern was the wifi in room 1. There wasn’t any service but it didn’t take away from the entire experience. It’s a lovely place and I highly recommend it!

We have stayed here before and a good reason for return is this is a popular pub, staff are friendly, William is always social, the rooms are great, the pub atmosphere terrific and the food is also great.

This is not a dedicated hotel, but rather a lively pub with rooms. While the room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable, with a good-sized bathroom (with electric shower and tub), the sound insulation was poor, with a lot of noise coming up from the dining room immediately below. This wasn't a major problem the first two nights, as 11:00 closing time meant that things quietened down quickly. On our final night, however, something that sounded like a dog fight broke out immediately below us at nearly midnight and things weren't quiet until half past at the earliest. The food was good, all home made and freshly prepared, although the selection for breakfast was a little limited. Services was extremely friendly and accommodating at a very busy time.

We enjoyed every aspect of our stay, from the quirkiness of the decor and furnishings to the excellent food wines and beers. It was lovely to sit in the beautiful garden too. We look forward to returning!

Lovely stay in a beautiful room with great facilities - including nespresso machine and water in room. Shower was unpredictable in terms of temperature. We were asked to pick a time for breakfast for any time up until 09:30 and chose this time. On arriving at breakfast I was essentially made to feel like I was late, which wasn't great. Equally, no one was present for check out so I was forced to leave my keys at the bar (despite calling out for someone!).
