Pros:

I stayed at the Tavern for one night Monday 6/10/25 prior to attending a funeral.
I had read previous reviews criticising road noise. Whilst it was heard,I didn’t find it an issue at all. Had a good nights sleep in a comfy bed.
Superb bathroom- i loved the large soaker tub- hard to find a room with bath these days.
Staff were very friendly and food was hot and tasty with portions on the large side!
Would definitely stay here again.

The whole experience was great! Susie, Addy and all their staff made us feel very welcome. The food was great, we had a family meal here on one of the nights. The breakfast was huge and kept us going all day! Will definitely return when we’re next up visiting family.

Brilliant staff
Pros:

Our stay was extremely pleasant. The road noise was really loud when the windows were open, which they had to be as the room was very warm.The breakfast was delicious. Susanna was an excellent host and worked very hard and was always pleasant and helpful.

Yum food and good accommodation
Pros:

I would stay here for business again. Our room appeared to be freshly decorated and the bathroom with shower kitted out to a high standard. We ate in their restaurant and the food was very yummy- do try the pie and steak both seriously good. They only start serving breakfast at 9am which was too late for us so they actually came in early for us and we had a great full English breakfast beautifully cooked bacon and sausages excellent. The Hungarian lady who we checked in with, saw at dinner and breakfast what a hard working and polite person.

Pros:

We arrived 4-pm 13/8/25 for our 1 night stay on route to a funeral the following day, we got a drink, then hubby went to get another and the barman had walked out so no more drinks till another member of staff arrived over an hour later,

Poor stay
Pros:

Check in was crazy, we’d booked twin room. But got a king size bed, then had to show proof of what I’d booked. Explained it was 2 friends sharing & not a couple & we’d like another duvet so we can make it into a twin, the duvet didn’t come. There was no toilet rolls in the bathroom, pubic hairs all around the toilet & hairs on the sink, no bathroom bin, nor toilet roll holder. The bed was lumpy & very uncomfortable & my friend has woken up with a really bad back ache today. The pub is adjacent to a 60mph limit road which is extremely dangerous, and we unfortunately were witnesses to a head on collision right outside the premises, so be careful around the area with the other traffic.
