A bit of a mixed review. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was a good size but we didn’t like the open plan bathroom and the toilet was no more than a closet (think airplane size and smaller again!). Bed was comfortable. Our room (No 2) was at the front and it was quite noisy

The room has an unpleasant scent. I have booked the king room and shown that it was a king bed. However, the size is just a double bed size. It not worths this price in this area.

Lovely country Pub
Parking is provided by the means of a public car park to the rear of the property. Access to the property is via a long gravel path which requires suitcases to be carried. Room access is via very step and narrow steps. Thankfully the manager assisted with the cases to the room. Stay was good, but on departure no staff were available and the property was locked.

The room I booked was supposed to be a king size room. We were taken to room 2. This was a very small room and did not match the room that I paid for. There was carpet which was stained in places. The toilet was situated in a tiny cubicle. My husbands knees were touching the wall when he sat down on the toilet. The shutters were dirty. We were not happy at all with our room, I did mention this to the girl at the bar when we left.

Perfect long weekend
Lovely rooms above a great pub with a cracking breakfast. Everyone we dealt with was so helpful and friendly. The area was perfect for walking and exploring and you could reach other pubs and restaurants by foot. We would definitely recommend and are planning a return trip.

Nice location with modern room
We were greeted inside the pub and shown to our room quickly which was upstairs at the rear of the building. This was up outside metal steps. The room is a great size with modern fixture and a stunning bathroom. The shower was amazing. There was however several issues, there was a very loud rumbling noise coming from the below floor (possibly linked to the pub) we wanted to sleep at 8pm and it too loud even with earplugs. This noise did stop around midnight. The pillow was horrendous. Hard and flat and I didn’t sleep the whole time due to this. They were really uncomfortable.

Failed after promising start
Ok check in friendly. Room was up some steep steps poorly maintained. Room only had 2 small roof windows so no view outside. Room was very hot as in roof. Bathroom doors hard to open and noisy opening or closing. Shower hose was bent so restricted water flow and holder for shower head was loose and unable to tighten so shower head kept hanging down. Bed was exceptionally hard with rock solid pillows. Cobwebs around high level roof beams. Decor nice.
