Beautiful old pub, stunning rooms, all staff very attentive, warming, welcoming, everything you could as for.
Superbly kept garden, truly stunning! One of the best beer gardens ive had the pleasure of having a drink in.
If im in the area again, ill most certainly stay again.
Countryside enfolded the TJS and as soon as we walked in we were made to feel welcomed. Our room was clean and fresh. Everything you needed had been thought of, big walk-in shower. fluffy robes, small fridge with water and milk for your tea. We only had breakfast but was freshly cooked and lasted us all day. We loved our stay and would definitely go back. TJS gets our thumbs up.
Stylish, cosy, intimate pub. Excellent food in the restaurant with locally sourced food, wine and beer. Bedroom was chic, comfortable, spacious and clean. The staff were all lovely. A really enjoyable stay and we will be back!

The inside of both the restaurant and bedroom was wonderful, the ladies serving dinner and breakfast were both friendly and efficient
We absolutely loved our stay last year. The room was big and really warm. We loved our homemade truffles and the cordial. The breakfast in the morning was a delight and cooked to perfection. The staff clearly love their jobs everyone smiling at each other super helpful. No hesitation with coming back!
Such a lovely location, beautiful country pub, amazing food. It is the staff that keep these things too such a great standard, Chrissie was such a wonderful host, it felt like home for a couple of days.

Looks good but that was where it stopped
Got to the Pub booked in room looked good , Went down to get a light bite nothing on the menu as it was in the middle of nowhere we stayed and had fish n Chips 1 glass wine and a soft drink £60 . Off to bed the noise from downstairs was loud.had a bad nights sleep asked to change room as the bed was so uncomfortable they changed the mattress even though they had spare rooms. mattress was changed but no better left a day early when i booked out didnt even ask why we were leaving a day early. booked into another hotel so we could finish our christmas with our first Gandson
Beautifully unassuming from the outside. Once you enter the restaurant and bar you immediately feel the relaxed atmosphere. The dining area is lovely. Our room was absolutely gorgeous. Everything you needed was provided. The ensuite was stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Great stay. Arrived late in the evening with not much charge in my electric car. They sorted out an extension lead so I could get some emergency miles. Nothing was too much trouble and the bed was super comfy Would have liked breakfast slightly earlier but that’s just my personal opinion
The staff at the Jolly Sportsmen were exceptionally attentive and nothing was too much trouble for them. The chefs were excellent and we really enjoyed the breakfasts and evening meals we had there
