The room was very clean The food was excellent both breakfast and evening meals most of the staff were very pleasant and welcoming

Room was not very private as people were passing the window all the time and could look straight in No TV No welcome pack about the pub or information about the area walks,shops ect This would have been helpful as we sat down at a table for our second night to be greeted with this is reserved I said there was no reserved sign on the table we were told we had to book which we were not told the night before when we had dinner This pub is very rural we explained that we were residents eventually he told us we could eat at a table in the bar This was quite embarrassing

The room was spacious, clean and inviting. The beds were comfortable. It was nice to have a courtyard area outside to sit in, kept apart from the beer garden of the pub. The room was quiet, in spite of it being a Saturday night in high season. We ate in the pub and the food was very good although not cheap.

There were no bedside tables or many places to put things, and it would have been useful to have a shelf in the bathroom. The TV was very very small!

Beautiful Location, Parking, friendly staff, room perfect and food was amazing. Tried to book again for September for our sons racing but fully booked. Hope to find another reason to book ASAP. Thank you for a lovey stay!

The food is beautiful but let down that they only offer instant coffee. Although my mum loved the food she had there was only one vegetarian option.

Great beer garden and garden bar. Beautiful food, reasonable priced drinks and good selection. Room very clean and comfortable.

No information around checkout provided, as we weren't staying for breakfast which I believe is served at 9.30 there was no one around so just had to put key through front door of pub.

The room was bright, warm and cosy for our arrival. The rooms are situated in a courtyard at the rear of the pub so they can be accessed separately or via the pub itself. Very comfy bed. The pub served nice food and has a cosy log fire. Excellent value for money.

Nothing we could fault

Great stay, clean, lots of parking, easy access to room. Great value for money!! Would happily stay again.

The only issue was the shower head was slightly broken. But we easily managed, if it had really bothered us, we could have easily spoken to someone.
