Disappointed by the rooms. For example in one of the rooms we used there was only one bedside table, a tiny tv mounted high in the room corner, one hanger in the wardrobe. Noisy plumbing and radiator in bathroom unable to turn off. Cobwebs and dust showed that the room had not been cleaned properly. This could be a great place to stay if the owners invested some time and money in improving and updating the rooms.

The accomodation is separate to the main public house which was a bonus. No noise from the main public building. Our room was lovely except for a couple of minor issues, which weren't worth reporting as didn't inconvenience us during our stay but housekeeping and maintenance might be worth double checking. Large carpark. The pub itself is very nice, spacious, good food both for our evening meal and breakfast. Staff were lovely, nice atmosphere. Definitely the better of the three pubs we visited that afternoon/evening. Good choice of ales and other drinks. We didn't use the outdoor areas but I imagine in the summer it would be very nice and lots of seating. We would visit again both to stay over and just to visit for food and drinks.

Really, really bad

We booked a single night here and have regretted it since. We checked in to grubby rooms with the heating not working. When a fan heater was placed into the room, it caused the smell from the carpet to emerge: they said the room had been previously flooded and clearly had not changed the carpets afterwards. Beer was good, service was good, and food was mostly straight out of the deep freeze. The "Posh Fish and Chips" (nothing posh about them) came at a health cost to me - the following morning's stomach cramps were followed by violent vomiting. When told abut the stomach cramps there was absolutely no interest from the landlady. The pub is okay if you can put up with shrill screaming children and barking dogs while you are trying t enjoy a quiet evening, but the accommodation really is bad. Every step in the room above was accompanied by the loud creaks if a badly made floor which was so thin I could hear the snoring of the guests above. There are no redeeming features here.

Food & Service Good - Rooms are a disappointment

Don't really like leaving negative reviews - so here are the positives: The food & service is good and the views are lovely. The whole place needs a refresh and a good clean - plenty of dust and cobwebs (especially on the restaurant pulldown blinds). The room was not nice, the furniture was dated and the bed/mattress looked really old - I choose to sleep on top of the bed instead of in it. Feet stuck to the floor in the bathroom and there are brown stains on the floor behind the toilet bowl. A knob was missing on the shower controls making it difficult to use. Unfortunately, will not be returning

Couldn’t relax due to noisy room

Noise from creaking floor boards above was horrendous, every movement echoed through the room. Good that they allow pets, but the carpet was covered dog hair, not nice if you don’t have a dog. No WiFi in room as advertised, only in the bar. Evening meal service was terrible, meals on menu not available, informed 20minutes after ordering starter that soup was not available. Meal took over 45 mins to arrive and then they had substituted the listed vegetables with other veg which I did not like and was not informed about. Only 1 good point The cooked breakfast was very good with good portions

Potential but disappointing

Lovely location but disappointed with the overall stay. Bin hadn’t been emptied from the previous occupant. Poor service delivered on a 5 night stay. No changing of towels until the last night which was a bit pointless by then. The room was dated and roasting hot. Breakfast was a meat feast every day with no options for cereal and the pub was quite busy so noisy in the room up until 11pm and because the window opened up directly under the room below when the person smoked the 2nd hand smoke came directly into the room I was staying in. Not very nice for a non smoker

Could be a wonderful place to stay.

The location of this inn is spectacularly good and I would love to give it a perfect review. Sadly though, there were a couple of things that let it down. We were there for 4 nights and had no hot water for 2 days. This seems to be a recurring problem and affected other guests as well as us. There is no WiFi in the rooms, which is where you need it as phone signal is very poor. You have to be in the bar to get WiFi. Whereas it didn't affect us as we are vegetarians, they were telling other guests one morning that they had everything for breakfast except for sausages and bacon! For many people, they are the essentials of breakfast! That same evening, the pub ran out of beer! Stock control seems to be an issue here. We were there during a heatwave and there was no fan in the room. I know these were unusual conditions, but it would have made it more comfortable and they are not expensive items. We would have appreciated vegetarian/vegan sausages to be available at breakfast, something that is pretty much normal these days. All of these things are easily remedied ( apart from the water system possibly) but would have made a huge difference. The many plus points of this inn would certainly tempt us back again, but we'll read the reviews to make sure we can get a warm shower in the mornings!
