A relaxing gem that I would stay at again in a heartbeat. Huge thanks to the calm, friendly staff.
Pros:

This little gem exceeded my expectations in every way. I booked a multi night stay for a last minute business commitment, and my partner travelled with me. We were both extremely pleased with the setting, the set up, and amenities. Moreover, the staff the difference here. Always greeted with a smile, always going the extra mile. As an example, we had to put a hold on extending our own room one night, and I had to get another colleague in very last minute. Both were responded to with a "no problem, we'll sort that out for you." As someone who stays in hotels a lot, this was an extremely relaxing stay. The room featured a lot of small details done right. It was quiet at night and the pub portion was pleasantly lively during the days and evenings. I would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

The only thing that didn't work during our stay was the coffee machine, and that was immediately fixed AND we were treated to free coffees downstairs.

Excellent - apart from disappointing breakfast.
Pros:

Location very good for our needs.

Cons:

Surprised the breakfast turned up rather cold. Muffin under poached egg still frozen in centre hence egg luke warm. No staff available to report this to.

Thank you for a lovely time.
Pros:

From moment we arrived Natalie and her team were friendly, and welcoming.

The pub / hotel oozes character, decor is lovely, and everywhere is clean. Plenty of parking and lots of atmosphere.

We ate in the pub both nights, and breakfast was included, and the food was wonderful.

Cons:

No complaints whatsoever.

A Youngs pub with rooms, done exceptionally well. The best bit is that the staff are all fabulous!
Pros:

A lovely room, large comfortable bed, well equipped bathroom with walk-in shower. On the hottest day of the year so far, air conditioning in the bedroom was an unexpected bonus. And the staff really made the stay, every single member of the team gave 110%.

Cons:

Car park is supposed to be for those staying overnight, but with no enforcement it was a bit of a free for all. I find chargeable in-room snacks a bit tacky, especially when more expensive than in the bar downstairs. At the nightly rate, I think Youngs could throw in a bottle of mineral water.

Other than the above small issues we enjoyed our stay very much
Pros:

Huge very comfy bed and pillows and well equipped bathroom with an excellent shower

Cons:

Would like to have had at least one drawer especially beside the bed and in the dressing table. We have stayed at the Dukes Head many times before and have always enjoyed the delicious breakfasts. This time my husband didn’t think the quality of the bacon was of the usual high standard and was streaky rather than back bacon. Also the baked beans were only just warm
