Very comfy bed. Superb shower, luxury towels. The food in restaurant was excellent. Starter Fish platter to share a great choice and chicken Kiev very tasty. Can see why it is a popular place to eat. Staff friendly and helpful. Good well cooked produce at breakfast. Soberton is a lovey quiet village worth a walk around to see church and the views.

Excellent stay
Wonderful one night stay prior to a cruise. Room very clean and bed extremely comfortable.
Ate dinner and breakfast, both meals were delicious and dinner prices ( and drinks) were reasonably priced.
Special thanks to Wendy and Richard for looking after us well. Will definitely book again.

Cant fault it in any way - spectacular place
Always lovely to stay here, the most amazingly friendly country pub, with wonderful food. Stay for business few times a year cant fault it. they even go the extra mile by coming in early so we can have breakfast earlier than normal due to 8am meetings. Stay wonderful, and definitely give this place a try (even if its just for food and the ambiance).

Lovely place, great food. Thank you.
We really enjoyed our stay. The staff and the food were standout. In fact, food was really really good. Our room was lovely and excellent value.
We stayed for a visit to Hambledon Vineyard which was also fab.
