The room was lovely and the staff very nice. I needed gluten free options and the staff were helpful despite the link to the website on dietary needs being broken. The breakfast was freshly cooked to order so this did mean there was a wait for this.

Contacted hotel 3 times with no response to check the room had a bath, so called and had it confirmed the room did have a bath. Arrived to find no bath, duty manager was unable to resolve as hotel was fully booked. Asked to see my booking and where it listed the bath, I struggled to pull it up as the WiFi is pretty bad, I collected the evidence whilst out at dinner elsewhere and advised him I had it ready for him to review however he never did come and check it out to get it corrected. We’ve stayed several times and it’s great value for money, however I was very disappointed with the fact the rook listed a bath that wasn’t actually there. As a single mum of 2, with very little rest and relaxation I was specially looking forward to this: would I stay a third time, absolutely but I would call and call again till I was sure the room had a bath 😊

Parking at the back was hard to find, but safe area. Lovely quirky pub and room. Food here was lovely especially the breakfast. My room was in the front by the main road, some traffic news but didn’t ruin my sleep.

Lovely hotel and excellent value for money

This is my second review for this trip - first one for check in experience and first night..I was a little concerned that the extractor fan would kee me awake but in fact it went off just after 10.30 and thereafter it was really quiet in the room. The bed was really comfortable and the blind and curtains blocked out any light very efficiently. The room was very clean and the shower powerful and hot with nice toiletries. Breakfast this morning was very good indeed and fantastic value for money. Given that this was included in the room rate this stay was excellent in terms of price and I would thoroughly recommend the hotel and stay there again

Lovely pub/restaurant/hotel, which has successfully blended the old with the new. Staff service excellent. Food tasty and well presented. Dog friendly. Nearby footpaths and country parks close by and immediate area is nice to explore. One small negative - stable room bathroom needs a bit of a refresh.

Room was clean and tidy. Breakfast and food were very good. Only problem being that there were no towels in the room. Luckily the store cupboard was open so could grab a clean one from there.
