We were really impressed and will certainly keep this property in mind should we need to stay in the area again. Plus Points Having a key safe outside the room made booking in and out so easy. The room had a well stocked mini fridge, a microwave, a toaster a selection of cereals, preserves etc available for a DIY breakfast as well as a TV. All the staff we had dealings with were friendly and helpful. The meals were far larger than expected and well cooked, we actually called back on the way home for a meal because we were so impressed with the dinner we had while staying. Minus Points all of which are more of suggestions rather than complaints. No shaver socket in the bath room, a two pin plug adaptor would solve that problem although they may get pinched by some guests, similarly a USB adaptor. One other observation although I appreciate it may be due to the ongoing building work was a metal box section going across the path in the passageway, I felt it was a trip hazard which could be hazardous especially for elderly guests. Other than that All in all a great place to stay

Absolutely excellent service, outstanding food, wonderful staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Currently going through renovations but the room was very clean, DIY breakfast was topped up each day and can recommend the full English, which was an extra charge but definitely more than worth it. Thank you to all the staff and will definitely return

Not a bad stay
Comfy bed and reasonable DIY breakfast (cereal / toast / yogurt / juice) but property a bit tired outside and inside. We had the joy of a water pump constantly on and off all night which kept us awake. Sound proofing in general isn’t brilliant. Did the job for a night but it is not the height of luxury - damp in bathroom and ceiling clearly had a leak at some point. The welcome message states they’re under going some refurb - I didn’t see any work ongoing.

We wanted to stay in a typical coaching inn and this fitted the bill nicely. Lovely comfy beds and very quiety. Easy parking and very convenient location. Nice, helpful staff.

Disappointed as it could be so much better
The room was clean but there was a lack of attention to detail. The toilet had not been cleaned properly and needed flushing to get rid of part flushed waste. There was an open packet of Alpen cereal in the breakfast basket which should have been noticed as unsealed when the basket was replenished. There is a toaster in the room with a sign saying not to have it set too high as the smoke may set the smoke alarm off (the rooms are all linked so if an alarm sounds it goes off in every room). Surely it would be better not to have a toaster and rather than bread have croissant or pain au chocolat instead. The smoke alarm appeared to be missing, although the base was in the ceiling there was no unit fitted. The fridge had a pint of milk but after arriving in the afternoon we each had a cup of tea, when we had another cup after waking in the morning there was insufficient milk left for both of us to have a cereal breakfast and so a 2pint bottle of milk would be more useful.

Rooms were a big size. A little cold and needs a bit of a refurb but generally good value for money. Pub is lovely, I didn’t try the food.

Food was delicious, both evening and our cooked breakfast. Came with continental in room but fancied a cooked one. Also had microwave oven, fridge and toaster too, which would be a bonus if staying longer. Dog friendly and very friendly staff. Ignore the building site outside whilst they are renovating.

Room was very clean and very well equipped together with a extremely comfortable bed. Food in the pub was exceptional in terms of quality and portion sizes!! Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Only minor negative observations are that the annex accommodation is a little tired from the outside and beware the footway leading to rooms as there lurks an unmarked trip hazard across the pathway - be careful !! However, overall, a very good place to stay and we would recommend.
