Looking forward to staying again!
Pros:

I rarely submit reviews, but felt the need to for this little gem. The staff couldn’t have been nicer! Restaurant was recently refurbished and very nice. Had an evening meal there which was great, and the breakfast was also very good. Freshly cooked from a menu selection. The room was very comfortable and the shared fridges in the corridor were a really nice touch!

Cons:

The bedroom was in need of refurbishment. It was clean and tidy, but the carpet was extremely tired and let the rest of it down.

Tollemache Arms review
Pros:

The food was really nice, room was clean and had handwashing, hand cream and shower gel. Shower was nice and warm. Comfortable beds, clean bedding. Nice temp in room dispute it being hot day as got a dorma window. Tea and coffee making facilities.

Cons:

information on arrival was helpful but we were told check out was 10am when queried over breakfast it was corrected to 11am as on booking .com . Room could do with redecorating as wallpaper is peeling off the walls. Not for disabled people as steep stairs to bedrooms.

An Old Pub with few rooms - excellent food and staff
Pros:

This seems a well managed “Pub with a few rooms”. Food was excellent. Room was adequate (a tad cramped within a very old property), but clean and with a good shower. Staff good. Huge beer garden at rear - but no noise from that (nor road) in room.

A convenient location with a bar/restaurant serving good wholesome food. Would not stay again.
Pros:

The check-in, bar, parking and restaurant were good with a selection of basic food (all we wanted after a long drive)

Cons:

The room was cramped and up a steep flight of stairs. Not enough room for two people.

Excellent stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time and the staff made our time so enjoyable thank you for your hospitality
Pros:

Great little B&B and was perfect location for us.
The Staff were absolutely amazing and made our stay very comfortable and we felt very welcome.
The breakfast was great and it was such a bonus to have the bar and outdoor bar area to hang out in in the heat .

Cons:

There was nothing I didn’t like but other visitors should be aware that the rooms are smaller being an old English style pub.
