Second time I’ve stayed here. Lovely little place to stay. Clean, well kept and friendly staff. Food in the restaurant and at breakfast is fantastic!

Lovely room but pub was quite noisy until midnight. Cleaning was hit and miss - rug under bed was absolutely filthy - luckily there were slippers in the room! Breakfast was amazing though. The car park is very tight and through narrow roads with parked cars - I was fine but less confident drivers might struggle.

A real traditional Pub/ Hotel with a cosy feel
1-night trip

8/10

Very pleasant staff with a warm greeting. I was shown to my room which was very small and only just accommodated a double bed. The bathroom was equally minute and sadly both were in need of refreshing the decor. The main negatives was the level of lighting that had little effect on the dark and dingy room. The area designated for tea/coffee etc and the only working area had no light at all so almost impossible to use. Nice touches along with a good range of complementary beverages were a complimentary bottle of London Pride and a small bottle of Prosecco. The room was quite noisy but One has to realise that it's a pub! The restaurant staff were very pleasant and the food was adequate. Breakfast was very slow.

Great food, decent location and good breakfast. Naturally, it is a pub, so usual pub noises are to be expected until closure time.

Very helpful staff team, lovely food, room and shower. Car park somewhat limited which is a 16th century thing!
