A nice spot for a meal. The bar area is cosy, and the food is well prepared. Service was fine. Decent value for what you get.

A proper local, not trying to be anything else. The charm is in the simple, excellent pub food and a very welcoming landlady. Their selection of real ales was spot on &ndash; found a lovely, malty bitter that paired perfectly with the steak and ale pie. Just a solid, comfortable spot.

Been coming here for years. Their chocolate beetroot cake is always spot on.

Been coming here for years. Always get the same dish, and it&#39;s consistently good. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The staff here are so warm and friendly, it really makes you feel at home. They remembered my name from a previous visit, which was a lovely touch. Just a very welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back.

The lakeside view from the outdoor tables is lovely. A nice spot for a coffee.

I&rsquo;ve got gluten and dairy issues, and they handled it really well. My husband tried their burger and couldn&rsquo;t stop talking about it. Solid spot for dietary needs.

Warm welcome and quick service, perfect for a rainy morning breakfast. The portion size for the full English was generous, really hit the spot. Price felt fair for what you get.

The team were so helpful with my friend&#39;s dairy intolerance. They suggested a few wine options that would work with the adjusted dishes, which was a nice touch. Made the whole evening relaxed.

Had the vegan lasagne and &#39;steak&#39; upstairs. Solid flavours, portions were decent. The live music from downstairs was a bit loud, but our waitress noticed and offered to close the door. Good service touch.

The onion bhajis were decent, nice and crispy. The meat samosas were pretty good too. A solid choice for a quick bite. The place was a bit loud, but it&#39;s fine.

Booked a large group, staff were really welcoming. The food was spot on, especially the roast. Pub has a nice modern country feel.

Had a mix-up with my order last week. They swapped it out straight away, no fuss at all. Really appreciated how they handled it.

Love the hot sandwiches here, especially the chicken pesto. The bread is always fresh and the fillings are super generous. Grabbed one for lunch today and it hit the spot.

Been here a few times over the years. Kate and Emma are always spot on with the service. They remember you, know the menu. Makes it feel like a proper local place, not just somewhere you go once.

Came here for a quiet coffee and ended up staying for lunch. The chicken sandwich was huge, honestly more than I could finish. For what you pay, the portion size is really generous. Felt like a proper meal.

Loved that you can mix and match from the two different menus. The lamb chops from the grill section were spot on, really juicy and came with this minty sauce. A nice change from the usual.

Ribs were a bit dry this time. But the brisket was spot on. Generous portions for the price.

While the food at the Woodsman was excellent, the service could use some improvement. The staff were friendly, but there were moments of delay that affected the overall experience. Still, the flavors were top-notch!

Booked ahead for a quiet dinner. The space is lovely and intimate. What stood out was the service&mdash;they were attentive without being overbearing, made you feel genuinely looked after. A nice, relaxed spot.

The grilled octopus was the standout. Tender, with a smoky char from the grill and a simple lemon-oregano dressing. That&#39;s the flavour I came for.

Probably the nicest, and most filling afternoon tea I have ever had. Wonderful friendy service and beautiful view over the valley.

Loved the grilled halloumi skewers! Perfect for sharing with friends. The menu has loads of options too, even for veggie mates.

we were served by a person that really cared about service and interaction with the customer, nothing was too much trouble  The food was off a new menu and was excellent.

A decent spot for a light lunch. The bacon roll was pretty good, and the coffee was fine. Sat outside on a sunny day, which was nice. Could be a bit more generous with the bacon portion, but it&#39;s a pleasant place.

Rooms are cosy and spotless, which was perfect for our girls&#39; trip. The location is super quiet and easy to get to. The breakfast is massive! Really good quality ingredients, we were fuelled for the whole day. Staff were lovely.

Stumbled on this place, and the Indonesian food is legit. Tastes just like I remember from my time there. Owners are super friendly.
