Enjoyed my stay and the individual nature of the design
Pros:

Staff were friendly and food and drink was good. Portions a bit too large for me so missed dessert. Quirky and individual, ideal for my needs.

Cons:

Bathroom was a bit dark could have done with a light above the mirror.

Wonderful 1 night stay
Pros:

What a beautiful pub and accommodation a shame we only spent 45 mins here before heading to a wedding near by.

Cons:

Mattress was very uncomfortablei could feel all the springs this gave me a bad back.

This one is only a observation, it did not bother me but would bother someone else. . Shower was dirty body wash and shampoo used and left open in shower.

Pros:

The food was amazing and the staff were so friendly! Also, the outdoor ornaments and interior of the pub is so eye catching. I would definitely go there again!

Cons:

The walls are super thin in accommodation rooms, so we had to be mindful of our neighbours. We could also hear people walking in the room upstairs.

Ideal location!
Pros:

The location was wonderful and the staff were friendly and helpful.
Betchworth railway station is 15 minutes walk away and I had a day up in London!

Cons:

There was no breakfast option.
The electric heater was insufficient to warm both the large bedroom and the bathroom. A heated towel rail would sort that out!
