Expensive however great location . Banged head on sloping ceiling every time when getting in/out of bed and judging by the marks on the ceiling lots of people had . Served Luke warm burger , did mention it was offered to takes it back which would have overcooked it and burnt the cheese we had been told that there were no more burgers , offered free drink declined as sat there with full drinks , mentioned this when went to the bar to pay , paid the bill after explaining the burgers we’re Luke warm then discovered we had been charged service charge without informing us for such a poor quality expensive meal , service charge is voluntary not mandatory, don’t mind paying when a good experience, cancelled the booking for the next evening

Pub and Barn were lovely. We had a barn room and it was small but beautifully appointed. The coffee machine was a real bonus as was the homemade shortbread. The velux window was a bit of a challenge to open and close. Breakfast was very nice with really friendly helpful staff, checkout was also friendly and straightforward. This was in contrast to check in, (e.g. we were told they didn't want us mithering the cleaning staff, as if we would) lunch and evening meal. The food was nice enough but my partner remarked that the staff were like automatons in that they said the appropriate things as though they were reading off a card but seemed irritated that we were there.

Such a beautiful spot to have a pub/ hotel. The staff are friendly and polite and the food delicious. My only dislike was that even though we didn’t have a dog with us. Our room had clearly been used by someone who had a dog with them previously. The rooms could do with a paint in places and there were some huge cobwebs on the ceiling. We were greeted on arrival with a used earplug on the floor. The rooms just need a bit of TLC and a good thorough top to bottom clean especially if you are allowing dogs in there.

Perfect place for a night away with the dog

Warm and friendly service by everyone. Food was great, room comfortable and accomodating to dogs. Perfect location to get the best out of the scenic walks in the area. Would come again.

A little piece of heaven

10 out of 10 there was nothing you could fault. The area is amazing with beautiful scenery. The hotel is stunning. Upon arrival the staff were warm and friendly and this continued through the whole weekend. The room was huge with a massive bed. Clean and a great welcome tray with drinks and biscuits water and more. The shower was amazing overhead shower and the cleanliness perfect. The food is tasty and plentiful piping hot and delicious. Breakfast was one of the best we have ever had. Couldn't wish for more from the staff and accommodation.
