Traditional country pub
The room was nice and spacious. The beds were comfy, everything was clean, could perhaps do with some rails on the wall to hold onto getting in and out of bath. The food was fantastic as was the breakfast. There isn’t much nearby and quite isolated especially if you don’t have a car. It was quite expensive to stay.

Authentic British bed and breakfast/pub! Peaceful countryside, wonderful food, nice staff and facilities. The only thing we could say would be that you need to book all taxis in advance, but otherwise nothing but good to say about the Countryman Inn. We will be going back.

My daughter and I really enjoyed out stay. Lovely rooms, large beds which was very comfy. Also very nice to have a large bottle of water and it was refilled the next day. Cannot praise the staff enough or the manager who is very jolly. Food was excellent and despite a staff shortage it was excellent service in the restaurant and in the outside eating area.

The staff there were so friendly and helpful. The food and beers on tap were all excellent. The rooms were very well appointed, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Overall I give them an A rating.

Great food and drink. Excellent service. It is an old fashioned hotel - with everything to comes to mind from the description. If you want ultra modern than this is not for you. If you want charm and old fashioned then this place is great.

Stopoverafter Monkey World visit
This was a perfect stopover after visiting Monkey World (just 4 miles away) . As well as the use of one room we were allowed to park our campervan overnight. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was both tasty and excellent value

Great pub with great rooms.
I’ve stayed here a few times now for work. Very impressed with the friendliness and service of staff. The room I stayed in was excellent and spacious with a superb shower. Really comfy bed with nice duvet. I’ve eaten off the set evening menu in the pub/restaurant, food very good and great value. A must stay if you are in the area.
