Pros:

The older lady in the bar was very nice, but it was disgusting to see people treat her so bad, including the owner who in fact was very rude indeed!

Cons:

The owner, the decor was not at all like a country pub grubby and not very looked after at all , food was a nightmare lamb shank was alive and had no meat at all on it.i later had a curry instead that was ok , all in all a strange feeling in that place

Very relaxing and good value for money.
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent and Laura and her small staff could not have been more friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The property is very remote and not really practical without wheels. The road is very busy and noisy but I got used to it.

The stay fulfilled a need but the roadway and general up keep looked tired. Pot holes need repair
Pros:

Breakfast was not up to expectations. The tea was not hot and the meal took some time to arrive even though we agreed a specific time earlier

Cons:

As above

Pros:

One member of Staff who worked tirelessly to maintain some sort of order

Cons:

Totally different picture when you arrive on site, building looked dirty from outside, outside tables not cleaned, had to wait outside until after 5pm to get in due to staff shortages, one person to carry out reception duties, bar, cooking evening meal, room itself was clean to a degree, whole place should be given a revamp.

Typisch britisch auf dem Land
Pros:

Uriger alter Pub mit typisch britischer Atmosphäre, klasse Essen und Laura ist eine phantastische Gastgeberin. Zimmer war sehr gemütlich.

Cons:

Wie in vielen älteren Unterkünften ist der Brauseschwall der Dusche eher weniger stark. Man wird aber nass 😉….internet im pub ist sehr gut, in den Zimmern eher nicht. Was aber auch ein Segen sein kann ….

Charmante oude Inn, te duur voor wat je krijgt.
Pros:

Goed gegeten, er werd speciaal een heerlijke vegetarische sunday roast gemaakt. Eten en drinken ook goed geprijsd. Locatie ook goed, met tafels in de tuin.

Cons:

Kamer te duur voor wat het is. Heel kleine douche met weinig waterdruk, hele zachte bedden, kleine kamer. Alles nogal verouderd.

Nice spot out of town and peaceful
Pros:

Friendly staff, nice clean rooms, good food and facilities

Cons:

Nothing really, is traditional in it's look and feels, soke squeaky floorboards but to be expected and out of the way, if you see that as a downside? Nice stay

Wonderful Historic 16th Century Country Inn....needs your support. You won't regret it.
Pros:

Wonderful genuine old traditional 16th Century Coaching Inn FULL of character. Needs supporting because heritage like this is fast disappearing.

Not totally modern and refitted everywhere. If that's how you value places go somewhere else.
Rooms are warm and cosy with rich colours, natural stone and an old fire place. The bed was very comfortable.
There was an ensuite toilet, large basin and shower.
The Landlady is very conscientious and doing everything in her power to keep her lovely old Inn afloat in these difficult times. She will do anything she can to help.
There are lovely little caring touches everywhere.
The food was lovely. Both evening meal and breakfast. Individually cooked.
Much better than volume produced seaside places which churn out hundreds of poor quality expensive meals.
Good place for dogs. Huge grass paddock exercise area next to Car Park with a bin adjacent.

Cons:

These genuine unique Historic Heritage Inns need more support or they will be lost.......forever.
