Made the booking, arrived and the building was boarded up. Called and no one picked up. The hotel took full payment when we made the booking. They didn't call and refund the money and explain that they were closed. We are now having to go through Hotels.com as they will not pick their calls up to provide a refund. We were lucky to be able to find another hotel on the night, but could have been different and at the moment we are out of pocket. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!
Very friendly staff. Good food quickly served. The hotel needs quite a lot of TLC it’s rather tired. The room we had booked had a plumbing problem, things happen and we were warned the day before but the first substitute was really rather grotty .The second was much better. We have stayed there twice before but the hotel needs to improve itself. The staff are lovely and helpful and some cash spent would reward their hard work
Service in the bar was great. The food was delicious, but the room was very tired. The carpets were dirty and the bathroom looked as if it was half finished, and no working fan meant condensation was running down the bare walls.
Lovely old building and setting. Food was good, standard pub menu. Room was very clean, nice extras like bottled water, bathroom particularly was quite tired decoration wise, and shower over bath sadly did not work properly. It was a very cheap room though and booked last minute, so good value for money.
The bar and restaurant area was cosy and warm and tastefully decorated. The bedroom and bathroom was fine for the star rating. Bed was comfy.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Not particularly impressed.
Felt hassled by owners to arrive, as they wanted to close early, even though it’s a pub. Even though we were caught up in Storm Ciara, we had around 6 calls.
Hotel was ok, but, the toilet wasn’t fastened to the floor, resulting in my colleague spraining his ankle.
Lovely old coaching house built by a village green with a stream & village pond
Loads of character & history including the old village firestation museum next door.
Don't expect ultra modern decor because its an old building but is kept well.
The staff were great. I can't remember tha lady behind the bar but she runs the place well. Note though the bar closes early during the week & 11pm at weekends.
Can i get my money back?
How not to run a hotel.
Has the owner ever slept in room 9? Suggest they give it a go and then either sort it out or lock and throw away the key.
Need to re-energise the staff to try to give the impression they care.
