Old coaching inn

Lovely old coaching inn. We had a large room. The bed was a four poster. The mattress was extremely soft. Too soft for me. It felt a bit like a water bed. We only ate breakfast at the Ram. The food was very nice but service a bit slow. It's a lovely place. Full of character and history.

1 night stay

Stayed in room 1, bed was a little hard for me. Also radiator in bathroom was permanently on and couldn’t switch off!! Not ideal when the temperature outside is 25 degrees. Food was nice but it was an empty restaurant with 2 dinners at the time, which they put us both in the corner next to each other. Felt a bit intrusive.

The staff are amazing and the food in the bar is lovely. I stayed in room 3 and the noise from the road is terrible. The noise doesn’t stop all night. The shower has a wooden frame running through it. It’s covered in cob webs and the room was also not cleaned and covered in cob webs. Unfortunately due to the cleanness of the room and the noise I wouldn’t stop there again. Though I would definitely eat there again. Shame as it has potential to be a lovely place to stop.

Perfectly comfortable and clean, with friendly service. However the rooms are very dated and tired. Ideal stop if all you need is somewhere to lay your head. Take your own hairdryer and toiletries.

Disappointing

Nice service, and did have a good nights sleep, but the bathroom was not very clean and the entire building smelled pretty badly when we arrived. Couldn’t really detect what was causing it so could have been nearby farming which can’t be helped! The bathroom needs to be updated cause everything was corroded or stained and the shower was leaking after use. My wife noticed a sticker from a bar of soap had been stuck to the tiles and not removed. Bit disappointing

Sadly below expectation !

We arrived about 9.30 on a Friday evening and were looking forward to a drink in the bar but were told they were closing which was disapointing for a Friday night. When we got in our room we were a little disapointed with the cleanliness in places, for example, wrappers on the floor by the bed so hoovering had not been done very well , We then looked to have a cup of coffee and cups were dirty so had to go down and ask for them to be changed. The wifi was non-existent which in todays world is unacceptable . On a positive the bed was very comfortable and breakfast was very nice and the service given by our waitress,Vicky, was excellent ! She saved the day !
