Food was excellent, pub was nice, breakfast was nice.

I don’t bother to review often…

but when I do, it’s because it was excellent. Absolutely lovely boarding house/pub in a small village. Tons of atmosphere and charm. The innkeep and his staff were very pleasant and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent and very open to customization. They even had a vegetarian version of the full English breakfast, which is something I don’t find very often. Will highly recommend for a family stopover or as a base for a few days while scouting the area.

The property was a lot shabbier than it looked in the photos. They tried to take payment two days before we arrived, even tho I chose pay on arrival. The staff were a bit bolshy about it when I called. We booked a ‘King’ room but it was only a double bed. I’m not following up as it was only one night and visiting relatives. Would not stay here again

Very nice location, great customer service, choice for B'fast & clean. The property needs big improvements as it can be very hot in summer days! fan was supplied but didn't help much, we had ground floor room couldn't leave the curtains & window open as no net to keep flies away and to have privacy as can see people traffic outside your room window. Lovely surroundings to have picnic.

Whilst the rooms are well appointed, it's within an old building which shows particularly in places like the bathroom. Breakfast is served relatively late but myself and many of my fellow guests had to forego eating as a key member of staff was late and, even at 8.15 breakfast was not available. They did contact afterwards to apologise and offer a refund on the missed breakfast though. Most of the staff I spoke to were excellent with one or two notable exceptions who must have missed customer service training.
