Room was adequate with small en-suite but it worked. Room noisy due to main B class road outside one window and an air conditioning unit below the other window. Plus side, beer and food very good and excellent helpful staff

Wonderful place to stay

Some of the friendliest and kindest staff I've ever had, with a simple and easy check-in/check-out process. Also very delicious food at the pub downstairs as well. My bed was very comfortable as well, and the room was very clean. Overall, I'd gladly come back to stay if I ever visit again.

Lovely accommodation in village setting

Very competitive price for a comfortable room. Accommodation( total of 4 rooms) was adjacent to and accessed via the village pub , but we did not hear a thing ! Nice outdoor space for relaxing or dining/ drinking. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we would definitely stay here again. Only considerations are staircase up to accommodation and breakfast is not served in the pub.

We were made very welcome from the moment we walked through the door. The regulars in the Pub were also very friendly. Room was clean and met all our needs. The food was also very good and inexpensive. FIVE stars all around.

Ok place at reasonable price

Room was clean & tidy but could do with some TLC. Missing shelve in shower, broken furniture. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only criticism is no room cleaning was done on the day between our 2 night stay.

Cheap but could be better

Whilst the overall pub/restaurant was very attractive and popular, the bedroom we had (room1) was very small, with very little space or furniture on which to place our clothes etc. The en-suite shower room was particularly inadequate as there were no shelves or surfaces on which to place toothbrushes or toiletries (no toiletries were provided other than some hand wash. Furthermore, the basin waste was partially blocked as it took ages to empty the washbasin. However, the staff were friendly and welcoming and the price of the room was very reasonable; other bedrooms may be much better but I would not recommend a stay in room 1

Live band didn’t help!

The hotel was clean, the rooms were spacious enough, the only downside was a live band on outside on our first night right underneath our window, the bed and floorboards felt the vibrations and after travelling all day and wanting to sleep, we were unable to do so until the band stopped which was after 11pm. We had no prior notice of this except for a board outside, would not have stayed if we had known this was a possibility as we woke up the day after with very little sleep!

Shame that a couple of issues let it down

Asked for a heater as the one in the room wasn't working and was told that one would be provided but it wasn't. Hiding the exterior access door to the rooms behind a scabby old fence without any sign saying access to the rooms was not a great idea and nor was having an unusual door opening mechanism that implied it was faulty and that you were locked out. Otherwise it was pretty good.
